Resolved Question

I was originally on the antibiotic, Bactrim DS, for 5 days and it was not over after the 5 days my doctor put me on the same antibiotic for 5 more days. I just started the second antibiotic on Monday. I now have 6 tablets remaining in the second bottle. I do not have to rush to the restroom, and my backpain is gone away. but sometimes I still see some blood in my urine. Does it sometimes take longer to get rid of really bad infections?, I am a lots beter, but I still sometimes pass a litle blood when I urinate. My doctor closes at noon on Friday, so if I am still having some passing of any blood I would imagine I need to contact doctor about gettng more medicine. I had a UTI in April, and I was prescibed Bactrim DS for the infection. The doctor did a urine test on me to confirm I did have the UTI this last time as well. I honestly feel the original infection never was cleared up.

I would DEFINITELY get a second opinion.

You could possibly have been misdiagnosed. There are a lot of problems that can cause UTIs.. maybe your UTI cleared up, but the major problem still exists.

Get a second opinion, it couldn't hurt!
