Hello ,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.
Bacterial colony count of more than 1 lac/ml in urine can be considered as a significant infection.
As you have taken the antibiotics for three days, further treatement can be continued as per the sign and symptoms of the disease.
If you still feeling the sign and symptoms of the infection than continuing the treatment can be helpful.
alcaligenes fecalis is usually very resistant organisms and can requires long antibiotics treatment.
Taking plenty of water can be helpful in curing the infection.
