Hi doctor,
I am 21 years pregnant. I have a problem with UTI. During my first urine test, I had 40 to 60 pus cells and so my doctor advised me to take antibiotics. I took two tablets for seven days. After completing the course, I took a urine test again. But still, I have UTI with 17 to 20 pus cells. I am frustrated. I drink a lot of water which makes my tummy full and so I urinate frequently. I wash my private part and wipe it from to back frequently. I am not sexually active. I drink water from a container. Kindly help me.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please mention whether you have any other symptoms or you are just seeing the urine test results. If you do not have symptoms, then it can be due to a contaminated container. Do a urine culture sensitivity test and so you can know the exact antibiotic suitable for you. For now, continue taking plenty of water. Take tablet Nitrofurantoin 100 mg daily at bedtime for a month. You can take syrup Alkacitral (Disodium hydrogen citrate) two tablespoon in half cup of water three times a day.
