HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in female patient urinary tract infection does not cure very easily and it take much time and many drugs needed to try so in my opinion the most sensitive drug can be tried for at least 15 days second underlying cause of infection need to be found out it could be some stone, bladder disease, renal pathology and others hope this information helps.
