hi there, you may be suffering from UTI caused by an organism resistant to amox or trimethoprim so the next course of action would be to get your urine examined for microscopy and culture and senstivity and according to the senstivity of the organism new course of antibiotics should be prescribed. The bloating sensation could be a side effect of amoxycillin and I suggest that you take a probiotic tablet along with the antibiotics.Drink plenty of fluids and you could take syrup citralka along with the water to decrease the burning and pain symptoms. Get a correct diagnosis and treatment for permanent relief. Take care.
