Dd had sickness 16/10 after complaining of back pain. 1 bout then better. By following friday 25/10 she had pain weeing and more severe back pain. As friday no AB went to gp monday.

Sample done and

results on friday 1/11 -3/11and trimethroprim 3 day fri-sun

wed 6/11 vomit in night and thought a d&v but then complained of back pain again and ongoing.
friday 8/11 3 days of trimethroprim
Now monday night so 24h off AB and complaining of pain weeing again.
So frustrated i dont see why we got 3 days of AB again when it didnt work.
3 days off school
2 urine samples.
2 rounds of AB.
trips to pharmacy. And a whole day clearing up after her vomit like an exorcist film literally on her pilow. And she was sick for 3 hours that time so no sleep.

will have to check on sample results tomorrow but not sure if it has 'come back'. Or not gone or if having some juice was just too acidic?

With the vomiting and pain that goes through to her back have you consulted a doctor about that?

Some antibiotics can make you sick and it's important to take them with food or shortly after you've eaten, it could also just be a bug but any pain that travels to the back can constitute as urgent. Ring 111 or your equivalent for advice. Infections themselves can cause vomiting and again this would probably be viewed as urgent/emergency.

If the antibiotics she has had haven't worked so far it sounds like she needs a culture sending for lab work to determine the right course of antibiotics. Has this already been done? I can't tell from your post.

If the UTI persists don't be afraid to ask for a urology referral as some UTIs are embedded, and it's more common in girls than boys.
