Can Tamoxifen ( Taken For Breast Cancer) Help In Treating Uti ( The Urine Had A Metallic Smell A Couple Of Months Back)?

I just did. I have a metallic smell when urinating it was like that for a couple months. I also have lost sense of tats and smell.. OBGYN has prescribed an antibiotic to treat a uti that was discovered this week....no other symptoms. I am also on tamoxifen for breast cancer. Will this medication clear this up or should I be worried that I had this I diagnosed uti for awhile?? thank you

Tamoxifen is a hormonal therapy which will help in prevention of breast cancer recurrence or new breast cancer formation. UTI is treated with antibiotics. You must use the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. If the infection does not settle then a urine C/S will help.
I hope it answers your question.
