go back to DR. his meds werent strong enough or long enough.dont put it off..it will spread to a kidney infction.very painful..and expensive.
sometimes it takes longer to get over...drink lots of water and also drink cranberry juice.
Go back to the doc asap for more meds
Go back to ur doctor! This happens to me! The first time i got a uti the meds they gave me didnt work. then they gave me more of the same ones. didnt work. then got some other pills that finally worked. While ur waiting u can take some things that can help w the pain. Drink ALOT of cranberry juice (only 100% juice) and take AZO pills ( u can find them in the femine section of a store), and drink water. good luck.
Drink lots and lots and lots of water even if you dont like to(It helps alot). It also helps if you keep your mind off of it.
get to the doctor quick, thats all i have to say. my boyfriend let his go for like 3 weeks before he got it checked out and it made it SO much worse..
he has them often so the doctor did some tests and turns out he has a kidney problem..like cysts on his kindey, gross i know, but it could have been prevented if he would have gotten it taken care of sooner.
drink cranberry juice, water to flush out your system.
Then you need to go back to the doctor asap to get another batch of antibiotics. It's possible that your infection was resistant to the kind they gave you.
WHEN URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS DO NOT RESOLVE WITH PRESCRIBED ANTIBIOTICS THEN IT COULD POSSIBLY MEAN THAT THE BACTERIA IN YOUR URINARY TRACT IS RESISTANT AND YOU SHOULD MENTION IT TO YOUR PHYSICIAN AND ASK WHETHER HE/SHE SENT YOUR URINE FOR A CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY. A URINE CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY CHECKS TO SEE WHAT ANTIBIOTICS THE BACTERIA IS RESISTANT AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO? WHICH MEANS THIS WILL TELL YOU WHAT ANTIBIOTIC WILL KILL THE BACTERIA. ALSO YOU NEED TO FOLLOW URINARY TRACT PREVENTION MEASURES I.E. WIPING CORRECTLY FROM FRONT TO BACK, DRINKING ADEQAUATE AMOUNT OF FLUIDS, GOOD PERINEAL HYGEINE. IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF RECURRENT UTIS THEN YOU SHOULD ALSO DISCUSS WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN ABOUT OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE PRESENT. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF WORSENING UTIS ARE : INCREASED PAIN WITH URINATION, TROUBLE EMPTYING THE BLADDER COMPLETELY, SUPRAPUBIC PAIN, FEVER AND BACK PAIN WHICH CAN INDICATE YOUR BLADDER INFECTION MAY HAVE OR IS PROGRESSING INTO A KIDNEY INFECTION. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS FINSIH ALL ANTIBIOTICS AS PRESCRIBED EVEN IF YOU FEEL IMPROVEMENT.
HOPE THIS WAS INFORMATIVE. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON.
P.S HINT DRINK AT LEAST 8/8OZ GLASSES OF H20 AND INCLUDE SOME CRANBERRY JUICE AND DON'T HOLD YOUR URINE EMPTY YOUR BLADDER WHEN YOU FEEL THE URGE !
