UTI - 3rd lot of antibiotics?

Wen to the GP with a UTI and got amoxycillin and a day later I got a phone call saying I needed different antibiotics (Cefalexin?)

I took 1 day of the first lot and I'm on day 7 of the second lot.

And it's back! GP visit or will they just give me more over the phone?

Just a bit uncomfy Sad

I had a UTI recently and after my second lot of antibiotics was asked to wait for 3 days before giving a sample to make sure it was clear - mine also returned during the first lot of antibiotics and although they dip-tested and it showed blood, they said the antibiotics would mask any infection. I would speak to them, they may want another test anyway. Hope you are not too uncomfortable.

I had to take three diff types last month. Try drinking bread (baking) soda in warm water and reduce sugar intake x

Eek I think I'm running out of types I'm allergic to Trimethoprim & nitrofuratin (sp?)

Damn and blast it is getting worse

They gave me the same antibiotics but a lower dose - does that sound right?
