Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
Your daughter is apparently overweight.
She should cut down on the weight by dieting and exercises.
Her symptoms are quite suggestive of urine that
tested for microscopic examination and culture before you give any antibiotics.
As such the metrogil is a poor choice for such infections.
Your doctor would prescribe a more suitable antibiotic like a cephalosporin or a quinolone group antibiotic like as necessary after examining her.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
