Urinary tract infection
Suffered from the same during Apr2016.. Had same problem again Mar 2017, Burning micturaction . Lab analysis of urine showed 10-12 pus cells..Treated on norfloxacin 400mg twice daily and alka tone 10 ml with water twice daily for 5 days . Felt mild relief and after 10 days again burning micturaction .. again got urine routine done , shows 2-4 pus cells..
Is it that I am resistant to norflox ..so in doubt got urine culture and AST. Report shows sensitive to almost all drugs and resistant to Amoxyclav, cefaclor, cefuroxime, nalidixic acid, tigecycline...
please suggest a suitable course of treatment. my body weight is 116 kg. I am 53 yrs old on drugs for Hypertension and hyperthyroidism.

Hello..
Well no it doesn't mean resistance to norflox..It means that the infection has not been completely cured...You need to follow up with the doctor again.
.And your BMI is also very high..I would suggest you to take measures to reduce weight...Thank yoy
