Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
From the description you have mentioned, it appears that both you and your husband are suffering from Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).
It needs to be treated with appropriate antibiotics.
I am sorry to state that amoxicillin drug what you are taking may not be the right one to treat this infection as its concentration in uro-genital tract is far less to fight infection. Since you have started it, kindly complete the course for 5 days.
You can take another antibiotics of qunilone family like Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin 500mg twice a day for 5 days to overcome the infection.
Heep your self well hydrated and drink citrus fruit juices.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
