Sounds like a recurrent urinary infection. Since symptoms return after stopping antibiotics, a deeper cause like prostate or bladder issue may need evaluation. Please get a urine culture to identify exact bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity. Repeat infection may need longer treatment.

I was experiencing pain and irritation before and after urinating, therefore, I got a urine routine and culture test done. I am attaching my report. Please suggest? I was also taking tablet Zenflox UTI, Alkabest syrup, and Surfaz SN cream for local ointment. This was given by a chemist.

My father was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection and treated with cefox and augmentin. He recovered for one week but at that time pus cells and RBC were present in the urine report and TLC was 13900. Then after eight days fever repeated and TLC was 13000 but urine was clear. He was treated with ampicillin 500 four times. Now after eight days fever has repeated. What will be the cause? Urine culture is negative. There is some increase in the prostate. A stone is seen in the gallbladder. Every Monday fever repeats.
