Hi. I wonder if anyone can help… Around 2 weeks ago I had burning uti symptoms. Was prescribed 3 days nitrofurantoin (urine sample was normal). Went on holiday and still had symptoms so I spoke to a doctor abroad who prescribed 7 days of ciprofloxacin. Came back home, and on day 5 of the antibiotics I had vomiting and diarrhoea and a mild fever, which lasted 24hrs. Not sure if it was a tummy bug or a reaction to the antibiotics. Was concerned about kidney infection but I don’t have back pain and my temperature is back to normal now.
I spoke to the GP again and she said because I was sick to stop taking cipro, it was day 5 and she said it would’ve kicked in by now.
But I’m still feeling a burning feeling down there, its after I’ve been for a wee, like I’ve not fully emptied my bladder. I’m trying d mannose now, and I have a canesten treatment from the gp that I’ll start tomorrow. Has anyone experienced a similar thing, uti symptoms but negative urine sample, and not responding to antibiotics? Cipro is quite a powerful antibiotic so I’m surprised it’s not worked. I’m confused about what this could be and I’m getting anxious. I’m 43. Thanks for any insight or shared experience.
