Have Abdominal Pain. Urethra Hurts. Frequent Urination. Prescribed Antibiotics. Solution?

I am having abdominal pain in the lower part of my stomach. Occasional pains in my sides. My urethra hurts. I feel like I always have to go urinate. I've got chills. Please help me. I've been to the doctor several times been prescribed several different antibiotics, which some I could not take. Made me way to sick and I have no insurance. So money is a problem.

Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM,

You are obviously suffering from UTI. If antibiotics are unable to handle this, then it simply means that the causative germ is resistant to the antibiotics that you have been prescribed. Even though you mentioned that you do not have insurance, but it will be difficult to treat you without doing proper analysis.
You will require a urinalysis + culture + sensitivity test in order to determine the type of antibiotics that can eradicate the germs. From your description, you might even require IV drugs for a couple of days such as ampicillin or ceftriaxone and/or gentamycine associated maybe to a steroid/non-steroid antiinflammatory and maybe antispasmodic to ease your pains.

Hope this helps

Hi Thanks for using HCM.

Pains in your sides, urethra hurts, frequent urination and chills are all signs of Urinary tract infection. You should be treated for this.

1. Drink plenty of water. To flush any colonies and to prevent stone formation.
2. Antibiotic. You have been put on many antibiotic. But there are many bacteria which can cause it and we need to pud based on that. Take complete course of one. Eg. Tab. Levofloxacin 500mg for 5 days, Tab. Metronidazole 400mg for 5 days.
3. Antiinflamatory drug.Tab Paracetamol 650 mg BD for 3 days.
4. Tab. Buscopan. Three times a day for 3 days.
Always follow your doctor advice.

Hope I answered all your queries and get well soon. Take care.

Regards
Dr.Lohit
