What Is The Treatment For Urinary Tract Infection?

I have been experiencing a fluctuating a temp for last 10 days. up and down from 98.4 in the morning to 102 with chills in the evening. Also I have been experiencing a stiff neck and soreness on the top of my head. My doctor diagnosed me with a urinary track infection. And prescribed my antibiotics. So far nothing has changed. I would like a second opinion. Thank you, D

Hello
I appreciate your concern
Fluctuating temperature with chills might be related to UTI
Here I would like to know whether you are having burning urinationnor increased frequency of urine, your age and relevant medical history so that I will be able to tell you more precisely

I would advise you for urine culture and sensitivity test if not done, and according to the sensitivity of the invading pathogen you may need to change the antibiotics
You can take anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen for neck pain.
Have plenty of fluids to maintain good hydration which will help by flushing off the urogenital tract

Hope you will find my reply informative and helpful please feel free to.ask for more clarification
Best wishes
