Hello,

For recurrent urinary tract infection, I suggest you investigate with urine culture to choose antibiotic according to causative organism.

Meanwhile, rule out diabetes as well because diabetes can be a causative factor for recurrent UTI. Drink more water and avoid intake of excess spicy foods. Cranberry juice extract tablet useful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
