I have done a routine urine test. My nitrite level shows positive. What does it mean? Please suggest.

Positive nitrite in urine usually indicates a bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI), commonly due to E. coli. If you have burning or frequent urination, consult a doctor. Start antibiotics only after doing a Urine Culture. Drink 2 to 3L water daily.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test
