Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Is better to do uroculture to determine the right antibiotic for you. I recommend you to listen to your doctor not pharmacist. So take Ofloxacin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
