Maroney555 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Ok, Some of you may remember my post from last week about my bladder infection. Well, this SOB is back...how is that possible so quickly? Are they recurring once you get them the first time? I don't understand... This sucks Link to comment
BeStrongBeHappy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Sometimes one course of antibiotics isn't enough. Depending on the type of bacteria, some of them are hard to get rid of (like pseudomonas). Link to comment
Maroney555 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 So then what do I do? Do I have to go back to the doctor? Link to comment
homeagain Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 go back or just call and explain that it didn't go away entirely, most of the time they will Rx you another round of treatment without a visit. Link to comment
homeagain Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 i should add that this is REALLY common. your doctor/clinic will not be surprised and this will probably take very hassle to remedy. Link to comment
metrogirl Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Did you finish the entire course of antibiotics? If not then you risk the infection coming back. Often, people don't finish the meds because they are feeling better but the bacteria is still looming. Link to comment

Ok, cool. Thanks! i should add that this is REALLY common. your doctor/clinic will not be surprised and this will probably take very hassle to remedy. That's good to hear. Haha, I panicked this morning. Did you finish the entire course of antibiotics? If not then you risk the infection coming back. Often, people don't finish the meds because they are feeling better but the bacteria is still looming. Ya, I finished them...there weren't many though, which is what had me a little concerned.

angellight Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Also drinking cranberry juice is supposed to be a good preventive measure, cleans out the bladder and urinary tract Link to comment
