I went to walking centre and was prescribed trimethoprim for UTI. Today is the 5 th day.Bleeding has stopped but i am still having burning sensation and abdominal pain.i am feeling tired and lithargic. I don t think the antibiotics have made much difference, except the severe bleeding has stopped.What should I do? I am also suffering from the sciatica pain on my back and the right hip and leg
Thanks for your consultation at Chat Doctor!  I have read your case history, and you probably got Urinary tract infection for which you have been prescribed antibiotic empirically... You should stop the antibiotic for 48 hours and after 48 hrs get the culture sensitivity of the urine done from a midstream voided urine....also get fresh urinalysis and the full blood count... Start the antibiotic according to report of culture sensitivity....meanwhile consume plenty of water take rest and avoid any sexual contact... As far as sciatica is concerned it has nothing to DP with the UTI.  Hope your quarry is adequately answered if u still has any feel free to ask.  Regards Chat Doctor.
