Can I Take Vicodin And Bactrim For Kidney Infection?
I went to the ER 5 days ago for what I was told was a kidney infection. they put me on phenagren, vicodin and bactrim. they call me today and tell me that my urine test showed that I have E. Coli present in my urine. They called me in Cipro. Im just wondering what this is, how I may have gotten it and if I need to be worried about passing it to my pregnant daughter.

good day and thank you for being with healthcare magic! E Coli is the most common etiological cause of UTI. It is easily treated and shouldn't affect you after treatment. It is hard to say how you got the bacteria and it may be sporadic in nature. frequent hand washing would prevent your daughter from getting infected. Drink your antibiotics and plenty of water.
