I went into the ER witChatDoctorplaints of pain in my right abdomen, nausea , bp of 176/81. I was given fluids for dehydration , which also included cipro and pain medication. The doctor s diagnosis was kidney infection and I was given 1000mg/ day for 10 days. The problem is that I just finished a course of cipro (1000mg/day for 10days) 1wk ago. Is this normal to have to take a second course of antibiotics?
Hi thanks for your query. For severe urine or kidney infection recommended doses of ciprofloxacin is 500\u00a0mg twice a day for 7 to 10 days. You can repeat the same after one weak but only after justify its indication as your doctor advice.it is best to take antibiotics as per culture sensitivity reports. If you are not benefited by initial empirical antibiotics' therapy. I think this give your answer
