Suggest Treatment For UTI

I was diagnosed with a UTI on Thursday Thanksgiving day. Was started on Bactrin DS twice a day for 3 days. I got one dose at the hospital because it was late and the pharmacy was closed. They also prescribed 6 tablets of phenazopyridine. I finished both medications this evening. I m still not completely healed. There was some urinary bleeding in the beginning but that has seized. I also gave a Hx of polycystic kidney disease. Any suggestions.
