The preferred treatment medication for lower urinary tract infections needs to be chosen based on a number of factors, including the patient’s age and the extent of the condition. Quinolone antibiotics such as levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin are commonly used. However, quinolone antibiotics are contraindicated under the age of 18, when penicillin, cephalosporin antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cefuroxime, etc. can be used.
Lower urinary tract infections are mainly cystitis and urethritis. The most common causative organism is Escherichia coli, and penicillins, cephalosporins, and quinolone antibiotics can be used to treat urinary tract infections caused by this bacteria. Sensitive antibiotics can be selected based on urine culture results if necessary.
All of the above medications should be used under a doctor’s supervision, avoid self-medication. Patients with lower urinary tract infections are advised to go to a regular hospital for timely consultation and targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
