Infectious Diseases Specialist 's  Response
Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that you have urinary tract infection with E.coli bacteria. I advice you should start with urinary antibiotic like norfloxacin. Also drink lots of water, it will flush your urinary system and make it clear with infection. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank; Infectious Disease Specialist
