Urinary tract infections are subdivided into upper and lower urinary tract infections. Upper urinary tract infections usually require two weeks of medication, even through intravenous fluids, to get better, while lower urinary tract infections are usually cured in three days of medication, or two weeks of medication if they fail to heal.
Urinary tract infections are divided into upper and lower urinary tract infections. Upper urinary tract infections include ureteritis and pyelonephritis; lower urinary tract infections include cystitis and urethritis.
Patients with ureteritis and pyelonephritis can not only experience symptoms of frequent, urgent and painful urination, but also systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, back pain, etc. It is relatively difficult to treat, and requires two weeks of medication to be cured, or even need to be treated by intravenous infusion first, and then continue the infusion for three days after the fever subsides, and then change to oral medication to complete the two-week course of treatment to be cured.
Patients with cystitis and urethritis can take oral medication for three consecutive days and stop taking the medication for seven days to perform quantitative urine bacterial culture, if the result is negative, then it has been cured, if the result is positive, then it is necessary to carry out two consecutive weeks of anti-infection treatment.
If the diagnosis of urinary tract infection is confirmed, please follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
