Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Nitrofuran is a vvery effective antibiotic to treat the urinary tract infection.

I suggest to use the cycle of nitrofuran for seven to ten days.

I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications if needed such as Acetaminophen three times a say.

I recommend to drink liquids.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
