How to treat recurrent urinary tract infections?

Patient's question:

I noticed frequent urination and pain during urination four days ago, so I bought Sanjin tablets and Levofloxacin capsules to take for three days. On the fourth day, I felt noticeably better. However, during the middle of the night on the fourth day, I felt pain, woke up to use the restroom, and then the pain continued, making it difficult to sleep. I don’t know what the cause is?
Past Treatment and Effects: I had a urinary tract infection a year ago.
Question: I would like to ask how to relieve the pain and treat it?

Doctor's answer:

Four days ago, I noticed frequent urination and dysuria. I took Sanjin tablets and Levofloxacin capsules for three days, which provided relief. Now dysuria has reappeared, and I suspect it may be due to incomplete suppression of urethritis. It is recommended to undergo a detailed urinalysis at the hospital for a clear diagnosis. I also had a urinary tract infection a year ago. Therefore, I suggest you go to the hospital for intravenous antibiotics, which can be combined with the use of antibiotics. Generally, intravenous antibiotics should be continued for 2-3 days after symptoms and test results return to normal to prevent recurrence. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy, irritating, and diarrhea-inducing foods and alcohol, and drink plenty of hot water, which is very important.
