How long to use cefixime for urethritis

Cefixime, as a commonly used cephalosporin drug, is used to treat UTIs for at least 1 week. Cefixime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and is a good treatment for UTIs caused by a variety of pathogens. The symptoms may be significantly relieved after 1-2 days of taking the medication, but at this time, the medication cannot be stopped and must be continued for 7-10 days to avoid bacterial resistance or a recurrence of bacteria. After completing the course of treatment, the urine routine will be rechecked after 1 week to see if the bacteria in the urine have been eradicated. Cefixime should be used with caution to stop smoking and drinking, and not to eat spicy and stimulating foods. During the treatment of UTI with cefixime, make sure to drink more water and urinate more often to help flush the urethra and let the bacteria out as soon as possible.
