She needs antibiotics!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this UTI that your girl friend has. UTI is treated with antibiotics. The most commonly used drug is cirpofloxacin 500mg mg taken twice daily for 5days. In addition, she should drink much fluids to help cleanse the urinary passages.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
