Is Change In Antibiotic Required After 10 Days Of Taking Augmentin For Uti And Still Off White Bladder Discharge?

I am 27 weeks pregnant and have just finished a ten day course of Augmentin 375 mg three times daily for uti. There is still an off white bladder discharge with brown spots in it.? Do I need to change antibiotic? I have had a urine culture and sensitivity which showed that the bacteria was sensitive to Augmentin.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Augmentin is a very strong antibiotic and if you have taken it for 10 days and find no relief then please get urine culture and sensitivity test done. After getting results of urine culture please discuss with your gynecologist if you need any change in antibiotics and as to what are the medications to be taken during pregnancy. I agree that in the earlier urine culture, bacteria were sensitive to augmentin but you might have developed a mixed infection or infection with fungus which is causing the white discharge. Please drink lots of water and use washroom regularly. Maintain genital hygiene and wear cotton inner clothes to prevent sweat formation which will give rise to infection.
