i was told i had a UTI, so i took the 3 day perscription, and i'm still burning when i pee, what should i do?
Question:
Answers:
Buy some Azo-Gantrisin available without a prescription until you can see your dr again. And yes, Drink only some sort of cranberry juice or water until then. A UTI is not sexually transmitted. The 3 day antibiotic usually takes care of a UTI and is commonly prescribed. Some doctors prefer to prescribe the 7 day one but it is not necessary. I feel you need a repeat urine specimen obtained with a culture and sensitivity and you can be examined for a STD at the same time. Some women can have episodes of burning from time to time and not have anything wrong with them. But you need to rule all else out before accepting this answer.
Also, an episode of long repeated sex can cause irritation that might burn when you pee.

Well, I would call the doctor and get a new presciption. Some medicines work better than others. I recently had this problem and I ended up in the emergency room. If it gets bad and you have insurance--that is where you could go, if your clinic is not open. Plus you could call a pharmacy and speak to the pharmacist about your situation and see if they have suggestions. There is an over the counter pill you can buy in the pharmacy section that will stop the pain of this problem.. It will not cure it, but it may get you through the time until you can see your doctor, if you can wait. I took the Cipro antibiotic and that ended it. I think I spelled that correctly. So that is a good one for this. It was NOT a sulfur pill--as many doctors, prescribe, and it worked very quickly! I hope your are feeling better soon. If the 3 day pill made your pee bright yellow, you only got half of the meds to do the job, the pain reliever. Get to the doctor and get the antibiotic. In the meantime, herbs you can use would be goldenseal or cranberry capsules. You don't get enough of the good stuff in cranberry juice to cleanse you.
To prevent, I take cranberry capsules and black cherry extract capsules on alternate days.
