What Does My Urine Routine And Culture Report Suggest?
Brief Answer:
She can take fluoroquinolones
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Yours wife history and lab reports suggest that she is having urinary tract infection. As your wife is allergic to both penicillin and cephalosporin group of drugs. She can be given broad spectrum antibiotics like fluoroquinolones.
As this drug cover both gram positive and gram negative organisms, she can take Tab Ciprofloxacin, 500mg, twice daily for atleast 7 days after discussing with her treating doctor.
If you have any further query feel free to post them.
Thank you.

I am surprised to know that you have suggested ciprofloxacin without going through the already uploaded urine culture report.Please go through the reports and then suggest.However,I have already started the tablet for my wife.Urine culture report is on the third page of the already uploaded report.
Brief Answer:
I have gone through your reports

Hello,
Welcome Back to Healthcare Magic,
As it was not tested for Ciprofloxacin, we cannot presume whether your wife is sensitive or resistant. As she is sensitive for Nitrofurantoin which is very much effective in treating UTI.
Oral Tab Nitrofurantoin, 100 mg, twice daily can be taken for seven days. You need to consult your doctor for taking the prescription of Tab Nitrofurantoin.
Thank you.
