Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm taking Claritin D for a stuffy nose and I took it this morning around 9, and I do believe I have a minor UTI that I just started getting hints of yesterday. I have Cirprofloxacin (2 pills daily for 3 days) to treat it. Is it okay for me to go ahead and and take the first dose for the UTI?
Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
first confirm if you have UTI by a urine test. following which you can take an antibiotic course. ciplofloxacin or norfloxacin will do. for now take urine alkanizer like citralka 10 ml trice a day. taking antibiotic before test will give wrong test.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards! Dr. Arunmozhi varman
