UTI Question

in May 2008 Weddings

So two nights ago I felt a UTI coming on. I've only ever had one, but you never forget the feeling I guess. I ran to Walgreens & got the AZO pills.

Went to the doctor yesterday and got antibiotic, but since I'm allergic to penecillin and something else that I took for the UTI in the past (stupid me - didn't write it down) they had to give me something fairly random. Said they'd have to test the urine to make sure that medicine would fight what I had.

So...my question is when you have a UTI how long after you're on antibiotics does it take for you to feel better? I feel like last time it was almost instant. This time I'm a day and a half into pills and I still feel bad. I tried to stop the AZO, but when I woke up this morning it definitely hurt so I took more.

    I've only had one (OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but I felt relief almost 24 hours after taking my antibiotics. But, I also don't have any allergies to any drugs. Good luck to you - I hope you feel better really really soon!!

    I would probably give them another day to kick in.  My body is slow to respond to some antibiotics.  You may want to call the doctor and ask if you should have some relief by now.  If not, maybe they will call in something stronger.  Sorry you're not feeling well!

    I'm prone to them, so I know how icky you feel. It depends on how bad your UTI is. When I've had a mild one, it sually takes 2 days to feel better. But I've had really bad ones, that after 5 days on antibiotics, I'm still in pain. Also, try to get some cranberry juice. It helps flush you out quicker

    like PP said, i'd give it another day or so. but, do keep an eye on it....UTIs can get really bad if left untreated, which i'm sure you know. :)

    Okay, that makes me feel better. I only had the one before and I remember instant relief (probably because they gave me the good stuff and then I had hives instead of vageen pain).

    I was starting to get worried since I'm headed out of town, but I guess that have CVS's everywhere.

    Maybe I'll try to not take anymore AZO today and see if I can tell a difference. I just don't want to be in the car feeling like I have to pee every second. That would suck.

    ....and guess what days are right now - yep, baby making days. I think the universe doesn't want me to be pg. There's no way a weiner is coming near me!
