Hello,

Recurrent UTI can be treated with appropriate antibiotics despite being allergic to some specific group of antibiotics like penicillin etc. You said you are told that the causative agent is MRSA. Then other group of antibiotics will be suggested to you by your doctor. I would like to mention that as treatment for UTI is important, along with this prevention from getting the infections is also very important here.

I would like to suggest you take the correct dose of the medicines your doctor has prescribed. Avoid using public toilets frequently to prevent yourself from infection. Maintain personal hygiene which is another important thing when it comes to preventing UTI.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Manisha Auradkar,
