Is D-mannose Medicine Good Alternative For Urinary Tract Infection?

I ve had an ongoing UTI for over a month now and have been on countless different antibiotics. I read that some people take D-mannose and it gets rid of the infection completely. Would you suggest this as an alternative? I ve been taking it for 3 days and have seen an amazing difference. No more pain or burning.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of repeated urinary tract infection. You have ongoing infection also. D mannose is useful but its not alternative. You should go for culture and sensitivity test. It will help you to select exact antibiotics. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Drugs like levofloxacin or norfloxacin can be helpful. It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
