General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It appears from your description that you could be having urinary tract infection or urinary bladder infection (cystitis).
Extending your antibiotic for a longer duration doesn't serve the purpose.
You need to undergo the following investigations:
1. Urine routine examination and microscopy.
2. Urine culture and sensitivity test.
3. Ultrasound scan of the abdomen.
Antibiotics need to be administered based on your urine sensitivity pattern as it appears that present antibiotic Ciprofloxacin seems to be less effective.
Kindly consult Urologist with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
MBBS., MD.
