Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It seems you are having resistant bacterial infection.
2. Will require culture and sensitivity test to identify appropriate antibiotic. You need to get your urine sample tested with starting of appropriate antibiotic for longer duration. At the end of therapy, repeat urine analysis is necessary to confirm complete treatment.
3. If urinary tract infection, still persists, you need to get an ultrasound abdomen and a pyelogram to identify any structural abnormalities.
4. Improve your immune system with protein, vit A, Vit C and B-complex supplements. Also take plenty of water. Cranberry juice will be helpful. Meet your doctor for tests and prescription.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
