Addiction Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,

Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, bladder infections are quite easily treated. The vast majority get better with ONE pill, so timing isn't an issue.

If several days of an antibiotic are taken it would be expected that the germs are all gone BUT

1) The area isn't healed up just because the germs are gone and the area feels infected for a week regardless and

2) Something else can go wrong and the infection NOT be gone. This is serious and this would require further testing and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
