Suggest Treatment For Fever And Soreness In Body

I have been taking amoxicillin clauvulanate potassium tablets for a uti. I had a fever first two days then it pretty much went away. I woke up one morning and my entire body was sore like I had worked out at the gym. I have had this feeling for two days now. I take ibuprofen and it helps. This hit by a bus feeling has never happened to me before. Thanks!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Urinary tract infections are the commonest bacterial infection in older people and the risk increases with age. Women suffer more frequently from recurrent UTI than men because of their shorter urethra and proximity of urethral opening to anus. Fever is due to UTI.
1.     Paracetamol 500 mg orally if fever occurs
2.     Syrup alkaline citrate 2 teaspoonful three times daily for 1 week
3.     Cefixime 100 mg every 12 hours per oral twice daily for 7 days
4.     Stop amoxicillin-clavulinic acid
5.     Drink 4 – 5 liters of uncontaminated water to flush out bacteria
6.     Investigations – routine examination of urine, culture & sensitivity of urine, total & differential count of WBC
7.     Drink fruit juice and cranberry juice
8.     Do not hold your urine. Urinate when you feel
Thanks
