My friend,

Your wife is having urinary infection no doubt. Once she has undergone a course of antibiotics; however, her urinary infection has either not been cured or has relapsed again.

Now, instead of starting any antibiotics blindly, please get her urine tested for culture and sensitivity. This test will identify the causative bacteria and also will reveal to which antibiotics they are sensitive to. Accordingly, the antibiotics can be chosen to treat her. This is more scientific way of treating urinary infections.

Urinary infections are rather nasty infections. Therefore, please get the post treatment urine examined for few times. Many a times, three or more courses of antibiotics at the interval of one month each are needed to completely eradicate the urinary infection.

I hope you will take the required actions.
