Hello and thank you for asking Healthcaremagic.

I have gone through your query and my answer is as follows.

The treatment given by your doctor is right and it was suposed to get rid of the infection.But in some cases the bacteria present in the urinary tract might get resistant to the antibiotics and for this reason other type of antibiotics are used and for longer time.

An antibiogram would be great in your case to determine the antibiotics that can fight this infection.
Anyway I am sure that the second dose of antibiotics will treat you.

Meanwhile:
-have plenty of water
-have fresh fruits and vegetables
-use chamomile tea or rose tea
-don't hold your urine for long

Wish you good health.

If you have any other question,don't hesitate to contact me.
