Hello,
if you know you have a UTI then yes you will need antibiotics to treat it. The Dr will usually want to collect a urine sample and send that off to see what antibiotic the bug is sensitive or susceptible to. Hope that helps. Take good care.
Yes you can take a broad spectrum antibiotic for your uti, you also need a
urinalysis to check which type of bacteria that is causing your
urinary tract infection.
