Hi.... I have just read through your query. The first report itself was normal - it is not suggest of urinary tract infection. There was no need to give antibiotics for 7 days without doing urine culture. If urine culture had some significant growth then only antibiotics are warranted. Second urine routine report is also normal. There is no need to use of antibiotics in such cases.
