I have hep c and will see a specialist next month to begin treatment. I have a UTI & took cipro which caused me to have a rash. I was then given ceftin, pyridium & phenergen with no relief. My back hurts just under my shoulder *very badly! Should I go back to the dr?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query. For conforming urinary infection you should do a urine routine test first. If puss cells are more there is sign of infection and can start on antibiotic empirically. I usually give Norfloxacin initially for my patients and then send for culture and sensitivity test and change antibiotic if necessary. You should take antibiotic for the proper course duration. I also recommend them to take barley water or cranberry juice to alkalinize urine. You should treat this as soon as possible because it can affect even kidneys if left untreated. Thank you.
