drink lots and lots of water, stay away from beer or hard drinks
Antibiotics stay working in your system for a few days after you finish them. I say give it about 5 days. If you’re still having problems, ask the doctor if you might need more.
Stay away from beer and other alcoholic drinks, but also stay away from soda and coffee.
Drinking dandelion root herb tea may help it more. It was recommended to me by a Native American healer 20+ years ago, and it sure does help and does not interfere with medications.
This is common but not ideal. You may need the same antibiotic for longer or a different kind of antibiotic but only your doctor can tell which is the correct one.
Never leave UTIs to get worse becuase you don’t want it to spread to the kidneys.
Cranberry juice has been said to be beneficial, but I’m not so sure it’s not the water in it and the placebo effect.
I would call your doctor.
It is possibly you need a different antibiotic.
You should always do a quick follow up after your antibiotics to ensure that the infection is gone.
