Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It seems, he has amoxiclav resistant infection.
2. As the infection is persistent and along with symptoms, he will require, culture and sensitivity test to identify appropriate antibiotic,
3. Until then nitrofurantoin can be tried, after that sensitive antibiotic needs to be started.
4. Persistent urinary tract infection, after treatment with sensitive antibiotic, repeat urine test necessary to rule out persistent infection. Meet your doctor for tests and appropriate antibiotic treatment.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
