UTI in 25 weeks of pregnancy
I am 25 weeks pregnant. In recent urine examination, it was reported that I have UTI. Attaching the image. Doctor has given me Nitrofurantoin 100mg twice a day for 5 days. However I could still see some discharge and smell in the urine on 4th day. However I could not reach my regular gynaecologist
My other local gynaecologist suggested cital syrup thrice a day. However I want to know if the syrup is safe in pregnancy
