Why The Burning Sensation While Urinating Is Coming Back After Taking Norflox 400mg?

Dear Doctor, I am a female of 36years. I am 5 feet 2 inches and weigh 53.4Kg.A few days ago,I got urinary tract infection (without having any physical relationship with anyone) - very likely through the public toilet I have used in a Metro city. Because, from two /three hours after the use of the toilet, I started to get burning sensation at the time of urination. My doctor diagnosed the problem as urinary tract infection and advised to take ceftum 250 half tablet/ two times per day and Citraka syrup 1 teaspoon/4 times daily. This he suggested to continue for 4 days. After four days of this medication,the main burning sensation went away.. but I was not sure that I got completely free of that sensation. So He suggested to carry out urine examination and through Culture and Sensitivity Test - it was found that I have E.coli infection. He has suggested to take Norflox 400mg- 1 tablet/2 times per day for 5 days and drink a lot of water. I generally drink three to four ltrs. water per day. However, after two and half days of this last medication...... I think the burning sensation is returning back... what should be done now... Is the water intake not sufficient for Norflox 400mg? Kindly suggest

Hi, the E.coli bacteria many times is resistant to many drugs. In the culture and sensitvity, there will be other higher antibiotics which may be required or if norfloxacin is sensitive, it should be taken atleast for 8-10 days. Also, the night dose is more important so never skip the night dose. Please take the course of antibiotic for atleast 8-10 days and keep drinking a lot of water.
