Patient's question:
When I was a child, I was tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus, and then I was treated, but it might not have been completely eradicated. Today, I went for a urine test and found inflammation. How should I treat it? My symptoms are always feeling the urge to urinate, but when I do, only a little comes out. Also, the pH of my urine test was 7.0, which is higher than the reference range. Is it serious? What should I do? I am unmarried.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of urinary tract infection include dysuria and urinary urgency, and in severe cases, fever may occur. Drinking more water is key to preventing recurrence. Rest and avoid spicy foods. Oral ciprofloxacin and metronidazole can be taken for treatment, which can help recovery. If ineffective, intravenous fluids may be used for treatment. It is essential to receive proper treatment to avoid chronic inflammation. Wish you a speedy recovery.
