AFwife asked:
I get UTI's about every 3 months, and i do everything the doctor has told me to prevent them but i still get them, anyway i went to the doctor and they prescribed me 3 days worth of levaquin at 500 mg each, i took the second one last night but i don't think its going away, levaquin worked great when i took it the last time, could i become immune to it because i became immune to bactrim, today i think i have a fever, am i getting this because my body is trying to fight off the infection?

You may need a 7 day course of a stronger antibiotic.
I had a UTI only once in my life, and my doctor said he always prescribes a 7 day course of antibiotics. He feels that a 7 day course is better than 3 days.
You should get another appt to be seen.

hey i have frequent uti problems too..and i recently went to the urologist and he asked me if i ever have fevers in conjunction with the uti’s i said no which indicated that i dont have something worse…you should call your doctor or a urologist and tell them you have a fever…you might have cystitis or something like that…..i think thats what my urologist said….

Call your doctor if you have a fever after 24 hours on the meds they are not working.
