Please provide some more information

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HealthcareMagic to post your health query.

Please let me know your symptoms and why you think it may be a UTI.

I will evaluate the possible infection depending on the severity of the symptoms and will advise accordingly.

Also, did you ever have UTI-s before?
What are the antibiotics you have used before (if you remember) and when was the last time you have had an UTI?

Looking forward to your follow up question.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako

Brief Answer:
this confirms the UTI too.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome back,

The symptoms you are describing seem like a urinary tract infection only.

The best approach is to first do a urine routine microscopy and culture sensitivity analysis, so it can determine which is the best antibiotic that will work for you.

But if you cannot do it as soon as possible, then start antibiotics as soon as possible anyway - tablet Levofloxacin 500mg stat followed by 250mg twice/day for 5 days (please obtain the necessary prescription from your local physician).

Drink plenty of water- this is very important.
Cranberry juice can be helpful to relive some symptoms.

Let me know if you have other questions or concerns.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako.

Can you prescribe medicine for me?

Brief Answer:
Depends on your country if my recommendation is valuable

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Basically I can recommend what medicine to take and how to take it (see previous answer). You can show that to your local pharmacy and see if that is valuable, but it depends on the policies of your country.
