Hello,
Bactrim can be used to treat urinary tract infection.
So, I suggest to finish the cycle of Bactrim and repeat the urine test to see if the infection is treated properly.
If the infection is not treated, I suggest to change the antibiotic or do a urine culture to confirm the antibiotic that is effective.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
