Infection while on antibiotic
Anyone get an infectin while on antibiotic? Doc thinks I may have infection because of high nitrate level in urine but when realized on Cipro was unsure. Kinda worried now... should find out soon if there is an infection...did a culture...show if I do will I be on two antibiotics at once....one for the infection...one for my Pouchitis?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks

I have had an infection while on an antibiotic. Not all bacteria are sensitive to the antibiotic you are taking. I had the c/h done 2 months ago. I was on Augmentin during the procedure. I tested positive for a UTI a few days later while still on Augmentin. After another urince culture, I was put on Cipro. That didn't work either. Then Macrobid. Didn't help. Finally they tried Doxycicline and that one did the trick. Took me almost 5 weeks. I tested a week after and developed a diff. strain of bacteria. I was given amoxicillin. Just cleared this week of UTI. took a long time, but it takes patience and persistence. Feel better. liz

Liz is right. It's possible to be infected with an organism that is resistant to a particular antibiotic.
I too hope you feel better soon.
Sending gentle hugs,
Donna

I too currently right now have an infectoin. I had a UTI almost two weeks ago. Was put on Levaquin one 500 mg a day. 10 days later I went back because i wasnt feeling any better. He is sending my urine out again to be tested and gave me three more days antibiotic. Should get results today or tomorrow and prolly have to start another round of treatment. So not so unheard of for us. Frusterating, painful, uncomfortable, stubborn. DARN DISEASE!!!!! Good luck hun hag in there!!!!!

That is what I was told....doc assumed infection because of high nitrate....I said really I am on antibiotic treatment....he rethought it and did a culture....no infection found.
Anyone know why or how urine gets high in nitrate without infection?
I have high nitrate water at my house but never drink it or eat anything with it...
does it just happen with IC?
Sometimes I no nothing!
