HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Well you are having infection in the throat and in the Urine. Throat infection could be due to Virus or bacteria but urine infection seems due to bacteria only. Hence taking an antibiotic is justified.

But choice of antibiotic has to be proper else you will not get cure . The antibiotic which can act on both throat and urine infection has to be used. Ideally a urine culture sensitivity test has to be done but since yo have already been started on antibiotic , culture test can't be done now.

I need to know what antibiotic has been given to you. I would prefer Levofloxacin for you ( unless you are allergic to it ). Also do salt water gargling, drink hot water, avoid non veg food and citrus fruits.

Hope this information helps you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.
