My wife is 9th week pregnant. She is suffering uti with staphylococcus aureus bacteria level (++++).in sensitivity test we found cefuroxime highly sensitive (+++). Doctor prescribed cefakind 250 bd for 5 days. We did it, and performed a routine microscopy of urine, but the bacteria was still there level (+), doctor advised to take cefakind 250 for 2 more days, we again did it and further performed a urine test but bacteria is still present. Symptoms are lower back pain, pelvic pain, burning while urinating, but no fever no chills. My question is that can she take cefakind 250 bd continuously for 14 days in pregnancy. Because as per my understanding s. Aureus takes more days in treatment than e. Coli. Before treatment pus cells was 4-6/hpf epithelial cells was 18-20/hpf, rbc's was 1-2/hpf, bacteria ++++, after treatment pus cells 1-2/hpf, epithelial cells 2-4/hpf, rbc's nil, bacteria present.
