How Should Persistent Urinary Tract Infection Be Treated?
I went to my doctor about two weeks ago for a UTI. I was given a 7 day antibiotic, took it the way I was supposed to and the UTI went away. But now I'm experiencing symptoms again. Is it possible I have another this soon or did the first one just not go away totally?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a recurrent infection.
I suggest to wait a few days after the antibiotic and do a uroculture to confirm the bacteria and best antibiotic to treat it.
Meanwhile,I suggest to use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
