Have Recurring UTI After Delivery. Took Antibiotics. How Long Can I Take Cranberry Pill And Cinnamon Pill Without Any Harm?

After my second child, I had a UTI that would not go away - and many antibiotics have been tried by my doctors over the years, to the point where they were afraid that if I got another infection, nothing would work. The only thing that seems to control is is a cranberry pill and cinnamon pill I take every day. How long can I keep taking these two supplements without harm?

from history it seems that you got chronic UTI.
Go for urine test and culture sensitivity test to know specific bacteria causing this infection and to know specific antibiotic working against it.
After report go for long course of specific antibiotic medicine course.
Keep use of cranberry and cinnamon pills restricted.
