Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Urinary tract infection needs to be treated with an appropriate course of antibiotics.
For this, you need to get your urine tested for:
1. Microscopy to know the quantum of infection.
2. Culture and Sensitivity to know the organism and antibiotics it is sensitive to.
Kindly consult Urologist with the report for appropriate antibiotics.
In the meantime, consume good quantity of fluids and citrus fruit juice.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
