Hello
Persistent UTI may be due to resistance to ciprofloxacin.Though empirically it is a good choice but now a days,many germs has developed resistance against it.
Your husband may need antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity report of urine.
I also suggest routine investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,renal function test.
He should drink plenty of water.
He may also need alkalizing syrups.
Your husband will be fine with proper antibiotics.
Get well soon.
