Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Recurrent UTI is usually due to abnormalities in the urinary tract.
2. As IVP has been done and clubbing of calyxes is seen, culture and sensitivity is necessary for exact antibiotics treatment.
3. Take plenty of water to dilute any infection.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
