It's a little bit of a long story but here's my best shot: After UTI#4 in well under a year, we tried multiple things, including seeing a urologist and a naturopathic Dr. What happens is the antibiotic does not get all of the bacteria and what is left is covered by biofilm - this is best described here: https://uqora.info/blogs/learning-center/biofilms-and-their-role-in-recurrent-utis Garlic suppositories & a protocol of supplements HELPED a lot but did not prevent the existing uncleared bacteria from re-emerging. The urologist said in order to overcome the biofilm - she simply needs to stay on the antibiotic for an additional (3) days and then come back for a highly sensitive pcr test done in her office. By taking this test, she can SEE if the bacteria is fully cleared or not. She'll take the test weekly for two weeks. Then take uQuora regiment for 1-2 months. In that time frame - radically cut back on sugar and abstain from alcohol plus clean diet. Once fully cleared, you can then do all the necessary steps to prevent a NEW infection. That's the current plan.
What did your daughter do, exactly? I tend towards chronic UTIs too. :(
