Brief Answer:
detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
If the symptoms of an urinary tract infection (frequency,urgency ,painful urination etc) persist after finishing the antibiotic (Alprim) then she need to do an urinalysis (to confirm the infection) and a culture + antibiotic sensitivity ,which will determine the microorganism responsible for the infection and the effective antibiotic to treat it.
It can happen that the microorganisms ,which caused the infection are resistant to Trimethoprim (Alprim).
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any question.
Kind regards,
