What Causes Foul Urine Odour While On Antibiotics?
I am being treated for a UTI but my lab report came back showing E- Colii bacteria the nurse told me today. I ended the antibiotic this morning. I was tested on Wed and took antibiotics 5 days. Is this long enough to take care of it. My urine still smells strong.

Hello,
Strong urine smell can be due to the effect of antibiotics. If you do not experience pain or fever, there is nothing to be worried about. Make sure that you drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
