I am G6PD deficient. Today, my urine test report shows pus cells (118) and signs of infection. Can I safely take Ofloxacin 200 mg for this urinary infection, or should I consider an alternative? Please advise.

Ofloxacin is not recommended in G6PD deficiency due to hemolysis risk. Consult doctor for safer antibiotic.

Hi, my wife has been having a urine infection for the last 2 to 3 days, and the burning sensation is not subsiding. We started her on Alkasol, and she took 2 to 3 doses, but the burning sometimes improves and sometimes comes back. A week ago, she had a severe throat infection for which she took antibiotics and cold medicines after consulting a doctor. During that time, we did almost all tests, including urine culture, urine routine, CBC, and dengue profile, but almost everything was negative, except a slight positive result in urine routine, and the culture was normal. Please advise what to do now?
