Patient's question:
I have been feeling a sharp, burning pain in my urethra when using the restroom for the past few days. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have a urinary tract infection. The doctor recommended that I start with an intravenous drip. I would like to ask the doctor how many days of intravenous drip are needed for a urinary tract infection?Doctor's answer:
Due to individual differences in physical condition and illness, the specific treatment time cannot be fully confirmed. If the patient has acute urinary tract infection, it is generally considered that about three days of intravenous infusion may improve. This issue also requires careful observation during the treatment process. Please consult your attending physician based on your blood and urine test results. Commonly, it is caused by bacterial infection and often requires the use of many antibiotics.
