Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Antibiotics will be needed for at least 1 week for urinary tract infection. You should get a follow up urine culture after finishing of antibiotic course. If culture is clear then nothing to worry. If antibiotic is working then with 2 to 3 days you will feel better. Taking potassium citrate in water will be helpful to relieve burning sensation while urination. You can also take barley water or cranberry juice.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
