Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
If your were my patient, I would suggest Levaquin. If the symptoms do not reduce after 3-4 days, you will require urine culture and sensitivity to find sensitive antibiotic. Occasionally urinary tract infection bacteria can be resistant to certain antibiotics.
Also additionally, drink plenty of water to wash off bacteria. Avoid excess fluid in nights, so that sleep is not disturbed.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
