Hi started trimethoprim but my infection seemed to get worse ! Now I m been treated with nitrofurition antibiotic . The doctors didnt take a sample of urine to culture ! Should they have done ? And is the second antibiotic stronger than the first . I am still in a lot of pain .
Hello and thanks for your question. Doctors usually take a urine sample and send it for culture to make sure they have chosen the correct antibiotic. If you are still having symptoms you need to go back to the doctor and ask them to send a urine culture. Good luck to you.
