Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Enterococcus is very notorious bacteria known for its resistance.

I advice you to take the full sensitivity of the bacteria done with HLAR resistance pattern.

It is always a combination of drugs which works for it.

If your previous therapy won't work for the bacteria I advice you to take the drugs according to the report available.

Please do not discontinue the treatment otherwise it will recurr with resistant to previously taken drugs.

Please take plenty of water. It will help flush the bacteria from the urinary system.

Maninatian the good hygiene by hand washing and cleaning of genitalia after natural cleaning.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
