Have been on cipro for 5 days now and still have painful urination and achy genital region and what feels like kidney pain. Went to see a drs assistant and he did physical and urine sample. He poked his head back in door and said he would call me in the cipro but didnt give any details. I felt pretty good all day today until this evening and symptoms seem to have reoccurred. Does it take longer than 5 days for cipro to knock a uti or kidney infection out. What should I do or treatment should I get.
Hi, Having pain during urination might be due to stones in kidney or bladder apart from urinary tract infection. If Cipro is resistant to causative organisms then also you may not get relief. Go for urine culture and ultrasound examination. After report go for specific antibiotic medicine course for long time. Take plenty of water. Ok and bye.
