the urine should be cultured to determine the pathogen causing the infection and the best antibiotic for that particular pathogen. not all people with classic symptoms of the uti actually have one so perhaps you will need to see a urologist to look for other possibilities.
what if you have a uti and cipro or doxy do not clear it? . i have a urinary tract infection and the two different antibiotics have not cleared it up. i have been drinking plenty of water and finished the meds and still have the infection. what should i do?
