alternative to antibiotics?
5 Answers
I have recently had a urinary tract infection. I took amoxycillin antibiotics, but the side effects were so bad I had to stop taking them. I had very bad diaorrhea and felt really really sick. I have the familiar symptoms of anothe UTI and am reluctant to take another antibiotics because of the side effects. Is there an alternative?

I took the amoxicillin as I was away from home staying in a remote area for a week and my partner had been given amoxicillin after an extraction. On medical advice I took the amoxicillin as an emergency measure until I could see my own GP.
Anyway I went to my own doctor yesterday who prescribed trimethoprim, to stop the remaining bacteria multiplying, unfortunately I must be super sensitive to antibiotics, as I do have some side effects,(nausea & stomach pain) although not as severe and only for about an hour, although I am told these will be milder if I can take my tablets with some food.
