How to treat burning and frequent urination due to UTI?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My 31-year-old wife got a UTI and hematuria last year, which resolved after medication. Today, she started having UTI symptoms like frequent urination with burning and pain.

Please suggest some medicines.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

She needs to get these basic tests, which are an ultrasound of the abdomen, a urine routine and culture, a CBC (complete blood count), and serum creatinine. For the time being, I suggest you try taking the medications for the urinary tract infection (UTI) which are, tablet Niftran (Nitrofurantoin) 100 mg, morning and evening for seven days, tablet Pan (Pantoprazole) 40 in the morning for seven days, and syrup Cital (Disodium hydrogen citrate) 10 ml, morning and evening in a glass of water for 15 days.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and start taking the medicines after their consent. Start the above medicines after getting the urine sample, not before that.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Thank you, doctor, for the reply.

Now my wife has blood in the urine, and the pain is severe. One thing I forgot to mention is that she is feeding our baby. As I understand, this Niftran is not safe for lactation, so she is not feeding the baby.

Please suggest any painkillers to relieve the pain. And any other medicine that is safe for breastfeeding to relieve this urinary infection and bleeding.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If feeding is going on, then you should stop Niftran. I suggest taking the tablet Augmentin (a combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) 375 mg, in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
