Asked for male, 25 years old from Guntur

I have been prescribed 10 days course of ofloxacin and ornidazole for stomach and bladder pain. I still have pain so I ordered urine culture test myself which came back positive for e.coli infection. Pale yellow, clear ntu, pus cells 2-3/hpf, 50000 cfu/ml, resistance to ciprofloxacin, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillinTazobactum, ERTAPENEM, cefepime/Tazobatum, nitrofurantoin, ceftriaxone/Tazobatum, meropenem, cefixime and sensitive to gentamicin, amikacin,tigecycline, fosfomycin. Is my infection low or high? Should I consult doctor again? Why it is resistant to so many antibiotics?

You will have to contact your doctor again and in my opinion, Apart from taking symptomatic treatment take tablet Zifi-O after contacting your doctor and within three days infection needs to be under control.

Hi I am 21 years old woman, in the past I suffered from urinary tract infection. It was cured with ciprofloxacin and fosfomycin by my doc 1-2 years ago. It recovered and my complaints ended. But occasionally I have now burning sensation in my urethra. It is not like my old uti experience I don't have fever-shaking etc only I feel hot and burning after peeing. It is not always, only reoccurs when I don't drink enough water and when I consume spices, especially alcohol and mostly in winters. When I don't consume them, keeping my feet warm, I feel comfortable and with the winter's coming the symptoms renewed. Is it something chronic, sti or bladder disease? What could it be? Thanks for helping.

Is it safe to have novefos sachet while breastfeeding a 2 week old infant for treating UTI?

Novefos Powder is probably safe to use during lactation. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent a significant risk to the baby.

It is persistent at its rt Vesuvius- ureteric jn even in prone position. No proximal hydronephrosis or hydroureter is seen. He was in LVF & had an acute coronary syndrome 3 months back. No coronary angiogram was done. He had also suffered a pulmonary emboli in July 2016. At present he is on following meds-flavedon mr, monotrate 30, lasix 40 mg, 1/4 tab, cardivas6. 25 mg & clopilet7 mg. For his UTI he has taken fosfomycin 3 mg & Zifi-cv (200) mg. Kindly advise if we can consecutively treat him for his calculus as we are against surgery considering his cardiac status & age.

Hi doctor! my father had fever from october. It got severe like 104 degrees f. So we hospitalized in january. He got diagnosed with enterococcus infection in bloodstream. He was put on antibiotics which was an injection injected after every 6 hours. So it was a course of approx 40 injections. In february he again got fever after a week or two after stopping injections. So after diagnosis it was found that e. Coli has entered in urine. Again the course started one oral medicine and 1 sachet of fosfomycin in a gap of two days. But after completing full course, now again he is getting fever which is not that high but persistent. From few days now he isn't getting fever. We again get test done of urine culture so again it is present in urine. So why it is getting back again and again and not properly curing?

Antibiotics are the most common therapy used to treat chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP). ... Fluoroquinolones are the mainstay in the treatment of CBP. Fosfomycin has been shown to have good activity against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing organisms. Azithromycin may be more effective for Chlamydia infections.
