Hi. You can show the urine culture report again to your dr.and 2 antibiotics of different class if infection is resistant. also you should take it for 7-10 days and take plenty of fluids as well .Also keep a good hygeine and treat vaginal infection also at the same time, if present.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thank For writing to us.
Yes, you can take antibiotic for repeated urine infection after consultation with your doctor.
Infection should be treated because urine infection during pregnancy is harmful to foetus also.
You can take antibiotic because you are in second trimester.
Good luck
Regards
Dr.Richa
