I am suffering from e-coli infection in urethra. When i take ciprofloxin 500 mg a day for 4 days i get cure very well but suddenly when i take alcohol, my urinary track again catches infection. Is there any medicine for long life cure ?? please suggest.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor You need to consider completing the course of antibiotics for a 7-day period. If the course is not completed, even though you may feel better, the bacteria causing the infection can become resistant to the antibiotic. The infection is not completely cleared (though your symptoms may feel as though they are gone) and you may prevent the antibiotic from working for you in the future. You should have a lab urinalysis done to determine the best antibiotic to treat the infection and take the medication for the complete recommended time to clear it. I hope this helps
