Urinary Tract Infection Won't Go...? |
My doctor told me I have a UTI (urinary tract infection) so he gave me a prescription for amoxicillin 3 times a day for 10 days. I had no symptoms prior to having the infection so I didn't even believe I had one. But I took the amoxy as directed --- now I have 3 days left of the amoxy and I've developed all the UTI symptoms all of a sudden -- burns when I pee, I pee a lot etc. I would call the doctor and tell him/her because you should be seeing some relief by now. Usually they prescribe an anti-biotic that is actually meant to treat a UTI like Bactrim or Macrobid. In the meantime try Alka-Seltzer, when I get a bad UTI and can't get into the doc for a few days I use regular Alka-Seltzer (the usual way) and for some reason it provides a little relief. I worked at a Urologist for a few years and the whole Cranberry juice thing just makes you pee a little more, in most people it doesn't actually help with the pain, it has a placebo effect on other people though. One more thing, taking antibiotics can cause you to have a yeast infection so you might be experiencing burning from a yeast infection, in which case the doc would have to prescribe you another med for that because OTCs don't help as often if the infection is caused by an antibiotic. Hope you get to feeling better! Take the rest of the meds and if you still have the symptoms call the Dr's office and talk to your Dr's nurse. If the pills didn't work for you they might just have to call in a different prescription to the pharmacy. it can heal pretty fast, but definitly UTI if it doesn go away by the 8th day go to the doctor again different meds work with different bodies Try cranberry juice. I get UTI's bad twice a year and if I drink yes u r immune to amoxy. the best for u is quinolone derivatives ..tell your doc. about this Amoxicillan for UTIs? That's a new one... |
