How to Treat a UTI? | Urinary Tract Infection Treatment | Top 3 Antibiotics To Use | Symptoms
Hey everyone!
Link to Azo video: • Does Azo Treat Urinary...
In this video I talk about the three most common antibiotics used to treat a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs are a very common bacterial infection, especially amongst women, but men can also get infected as well. Treatment is relatively easy if the right antibiotics are chosen.
Hope you guys enjoyed watching my video!

Very informative! I liked seeing the capsules/tablets!
I am honestly mad we cant buy medication we need over the counter without a doctor. I have a reoccuring UTI problem once a year, I do not wish to visit a doctor for a prescription when I know what I need. I am very frustrated I cannot afford health insurance to even see a doctor, troubling times.

I am sorry you are dealing with a reoccurring UTI. I know it must be frustrating to constantly need a prescription to get a medication, but it is important to keep in mind that the human body is dynamic and many factors can change. A doctor would need to reevaluate the situation each time to give the best possible care/treatment. For example, what if constantly taking the same antibiotic over and over for a UTI causes antibiotic resistance? That might create a bigger problem, which is why the barrier to prescription medications are created. Hope that helps and hope you see a doctor to talk about a more long term solution for your UTI. Let me know if you have any questions.

Did they check your kidneys? Usually the antibiotics treat the UTI unless the bacteria is resistant to the antibiotics.
Hey doc, mine is a question, can I use nitrofurantoin plus trimethropim combination? Or

Start again 104° fever back again, stop again fever goes away. It was a side effect on the printout included with the medication. I certainly would not mix meds.

The best way to tell is with a culture and susceptibility report, but it is typically thought that Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) has coverage for MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Let me know if you have any questions and hope you subscribe to the channel!

The first line go to medication for a UTI is MacroBid (nitrofurantoin) but it all depends on the bacterial urine culture results! Hope you subscribe to the channel!

I would say finish the course of antibiotics and see if there are any improvements. If not, then maybe there is another condition that is not diagnosed.

@@pharmedgy Missing the fiagnosis. That is always a fear of mine. Because I went to an eye doctor last week and said my eyeball was painful in the middle of the eyeball. He did all the usual eye exams and reading charts for eyeglasses. He found nothing. Said I could use dry eye drops. (They only burned. ) He said I could have steroid something. But I said no. He never diagnosed a problem.. so why steroids?? He said you are fine. Why then does my eyeball still hurt? Shouldn't he have either found why it hurts or sent me to someone who could help me. As another problem I have a bladder infection. I don't need eye pain too. And, I am getting Electron Beam radiation on my leg too. When it rains, it pours. 🥴

Could all this be from the lead eye protection they put on my eyes during Electron Beam radiation OR couldn't be something as simple as a burst eye vessel from straining from constipation.

I take good care of myself. So I do not need a doctor. I called my old urologist and they eventually made an exception. But still need all my info because it was purged from the system because my last UTI visit was 2012. I am going Thursday, Nov 11, 2021. Not sure what to expect with this same urologist again.
