Hi.

Thanks for writing in.

Antibiotics generally take 24 - 48 hours to show that it is working. So give it some time. Also take some probiotics like lactobacilli , to prevent the nausea/ stomach upsets from antibiotics.

Drink 10-12 glasses of water a day. Pass urine at regular intervals. Drink a glass of tender coconut water or cranberry juice. Avoid sexual intercourse for a week or 2 .

If no improvements after 2 days of starting antibiotics, visit your doctor.
