How to treat UTI?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have been experiencing symptoms of a urinary tract infection for almost three weeks. Despite trying various over-the-counter medications, none have provided complete relief. The symptoms tend to subside for a day or two, only to return shortly thereafter. I am experiencing pain during urination, accompanied by a significant urgency and frequency to use the restroom multiple times throughout both day and night. This situation is beginning to impact my daily activities. I am uncertain about the next steps.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Prioritize your health more effectively. Over-the-counter medications may not yield the desired results; please adhere to the following guidelines. Ensure you consume ample fluids throughout the day. Refrain from caffeine and beverages that contain caffeine (such as tea, coffee, and soft drinks).

Tests: Urine routine examination, urine culture, and sensitivity.
Medications:

Syp. Alkasol (Disodium hydrogen Citrate to increase alkalinity of urine): 5 ml mixed with 50 ml of water twice daily.
Tablet Pantoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor to reduce gastric acidity) 40 mg Dosage: One tablet Timing: Once daily, before breakfast (BBF).

I hope this information helps you.

Feel free to ask further queries.

Thank you.
