Nitrofurantoin and paracetamol

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

She needs to get a urine culture and sensitivity test done before starting any antibiotic.
After giving the sample for testing, she can start Nitrofurantoin tablet twice a day for 7 days and paracetamol for fever.
Further antibiotics will be changed according to the urine culture report.
