Doc did not do urine culture, he prescribed 3 different antibiotics for me to take. Including injections for 5 days. I'm thinking the last one I took, was only 500MG once a day for 5 days and was not a strong enough dose (cipromax) I think it was.
Brief Answer:
Get urine culture done and take appropriate antibiotic as per report
