How To Get Rid Of Bladder Infection?

6 weeks this friday my 18 year old dauughter went in for a bladder infection, Gave her septra and 2 day later gave her diflucan for yeast infection from the antibiotic. 1 week later it was not gone and another Dflucan still no help. Went to Doctor and did a pap smear and no yeast was found so gave her Flagyl after 2 more days of testing her urine although all came back negative. He we are again and all new tests ran and all came back negative and she still has incredible itching and it is unbearable. Medical doctors is lost of what is wrong and headed to the gynocologist tomorrow at Kaiser to see what can be done. Any thoughts you might have would be apprecitaed. She started taking Probiotics,curell??? and STDS came back negative

Urologist 's  Response
Hi.
what r her urinary symptoms. She frequently needs to pee or has burning sensation in urine or urge is severe enough that she has to rush to toilet. These can be linked to UTI. There can be several causes of perineal itch, like poor perineal hygiene, UTI, STDs, tight undergarments, anal problems like fissure, constipation, worm infestation, vaginal discharge, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.
What does fresh urine routine say...numerous pus cells... if yes she could have UTI. Get urine culture and treat with culture sensitive antibiotics. If culture neg, rule out tuberculosis in urine. Get urine for AFB with 3early morning samples.
Since she is having recurrent suspicious UTI...Maintain perineal hygiene, avoid public toilets, prevent constipation, deworm her, take long term low dose culture sensitive prophylactic antibiotic for 2-3 months.
