HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Nitrofurantoin (nightcap) is very effective for UTI including one with E cold. It is less bacterial resistance compared to other antibiotics also. So to can complete the course your doctor prescribed. After that go for a follow-up culture of urine to see whether it is clear. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
