Hello, I am on antibiotics for cellulitis. I have symptoms of a urinary infection. Should I consult?

Question

I had a scheduled cesarean delivery on March 16. My cellulite is located at the place of my cut. I am under antibiotics (apo amoxi clav) since last Thursday, April 1st. I have discomfort in my urethra. No I don't have any symptoms that you list.

Hello Ms, The discomfort you describe could be from taking the antibiotic, not from a possible infection. This sometimes happens to some women while taking "strong" antibiotics like the one you are taking. To answer your question, it depends: If you have a fever; If you have blood in your urine; If you still have the urge to urinate. Is that the case? In such a case, let's wait until the antibiotic is finished to see if the symptoms will go away. If not, we'll go for a consultation! Good evening :) Alexander
