Which is better antibiotic
I have ear infection and urine infection
Done urine culture
I already took augmentin 625 for two days and stopped
Because I felt it cured whereas doctor recommended for 5 days
So infection came back
and took levoflox 750 Not cured
Now I have two options
cefuroxime Axetil and ciprofloxacin
Doctor prescribed zocef but its expensive
Why doctor didn't recommend cipro
Should I approach my doctor to prescribe cipro
Or cipro has serious side affect or anything
Which is better antibiotic for ear and urine?

Sir antibiotics course should always be completed even if your symptoms cure within one or two days. If you stop in between you're body will become resistance to antibiotics and those antibiotics will not work in your body in future which is serious problem.
Coming down to your query, cefuroxime and ciprofloxacin belongs to different category of antibiotics. As you have both ear infection and urinary tract infection cefuroxime is the best drug. You can cure your infection only if you complete the course of antibiotics again if you leave after 2 days you would need different antibiotics or this infection can become serious problem.
