Answered by Dr. Klarida Papaqako (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Two antibiotics recommended in two different cases.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your question.

I can suggest to take Trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole 960 mg, 1 tablet twice/day for 3 days - if the infection its just cystitis without fever or proteins in the urine.

If the infection has been complicated with pyelonephritis then you should take Ciprofloxacine 500mg twice/day for 5 days.

We cannot prescribe medicines just recommend them. In some countries you can take these without a prescription in the local pharmacy.

Make sure you don't take these if you are allergic from them.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.

Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
