Hi dear. Welcome to the forum of Health care Magic. If there is culture positive report of your urine and sensitivity has come for the particular drug then it is advisable to you for completing the course of that drug. In this way it is quite possible that the disease will be totally eradicated. To eradicate the UTI is very important in the sense that persistence of the bacteria in the urinary tract may lead to many complications and some times end stage renal disease also. Many alternative treatment may be available to reduce the symptoms but not necessary they will treat the infections completely. Hence it advisable to go according the report of culture and sensitivity. Hope Your query is answered Thanks
