Is There An Alternative For Cipro To Treat Kidney And UTI ?

I was diagnosed with a kidney and UTI. I was given microbid, augmentin and now suprax. The urine culture shows that cipro is the best antibiotic to cure the bacteria, but I am allergic to cipro. I am not getting better on the suprax. Still have burning and my urine has no color. Any suggestions?

Hi
Thanks for your query
While there are alternative medications available to treat UTI, we need to see the urine culture and sensitivity report. This is to determine if the bacteria is sensitive to the alternative antibiotic.
If you could provide this report, I can offer alternative treatment.
Hope this helps
Good luck
