UTI not getting better
I got a UTI last week (blood in urine, burning sensation while peeing) but it got sorted within half a day once i took tablets for it. I did the full course of tablets but the UTI has returned this week. I face the same symptoms every morning and it gets better by afternoon. What should I do??

I think you must take antibiotics for at least 15 days. Recurrence is common after a small course of antibiotics for only 5-7 days . And next time always do urine r/m and culture test before staring any antibiotics.
