Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It is unfortunate to get the infection again.
Magnacef 500 belongs to Cephalosporin group of antibiotics.
If any infection is recurring, then you need to go for change in the antibiotics. E.coli infecting her would have been resistant to the antibiotic used. Organism sensitive antibiotic has to be used.
Kindly get her urine tested for Culture and Sensitivity. Based on the report, appropriate antibiotic course can be instituted.
Wish her good health.
