Bactrim or ciprofloxacine

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Your symptoms are suggestive of a possible UTI. I will recommend that you drink much water and take any of the following drugs for 5days.

1. Ciprofloxacine 500mg twice daily
2. Bactrim 960mg twice daily for 5days.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
