Suggest Treatment For Urinary Urgency In Case Of UTI
I was given a 3 day course of antibiotics for a suspected UTI 11 days ago. It hadn't improved so I went to the doctors and saw a nurse. She did a dip test and told me I had a strong infection & gave me another course of antibiotics for 7 days. I am due to take my last tablet tonight and it still has not cleared up. My main sympton is the constant feeling I need to urinate. It almost feels like someone is pushing down on my bladder. Can you offer me any further advice?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a recurrent infection.
I suggest to do a urine test to confirm that the infection is not treated properly.
I also suggest to do a urine culture to confirm the bacteria and the antibiotic that can be effective in this case.
Meanwhile, I suggest to drink liquids and especially cranberry juice.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
