Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Taking in consideration that you have been using antibiotics recently I suggest you to do a uroculture to determine the right antibiotic that works for you.
Clarithromycine is a macrolide class and is not typically used for UTI.
You should take lots of fluids especially cranberry juice and tea because it is a great urinary. disinfectant.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
