Why Am I Urinating So Much?

I had frequent urination and lots of 'pee' yesterday. By last night, some discomfort above pelvic bone but urine was clear in toilet and no pain upon going. Went to walk in clinic and dip stick showed a 'few white cells' so they sent it out for a full urinalysis and culture and gave me 500 mg Keflex 3 times day for 7 days. Allergic to sulfa drugs. Simple UTI ??

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Keflex 500 mg is an cephalexin antibiotics, which can be used to manage the urinary tract infection.

As your urine has showed some puss cells, it may be due to presence of some infection in the genito urinary tract.

As they have sent your urine for complete analysis and culture it help us to know the organism and also to which antibiotic it is susceptible, by knowing this it will be easy to clear off the infection from the body.

The prescribed antibiotic is enough to clear off the infection from the body.
Thank you.
