I've been dealing with a UTI for the last ten days and have been taking medicines like Citralka syrup, Niftran, and Drotin M. However, my urine is still pale yellow, and my urinalysis showed 10-15 pus cells, with the culture coming back negative. How much longer will it take until I'm feeling better? I'm really getting tired of this.
