Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
What medication and other precautions you are taking for urinary tract infection (UTI) shouldnhave responded by 3 days and you should have felt better.
Since the symptoms are still persistent, it could be due to antibiotic resistance and infection is only partly taken care of.
Hence, it is advisable to go for urine culture and sensitivity, so that appropriate antibiotic course can b instituted, which will help to overcome infection.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
