<s>[INST] I have a prescription of Nitrofurantoin for a mild UTI infection. Since these infections recur I am reluctant to take antibotics. Are there other forms of treatment than oral anitbiotic? is there for instance an antibiotic cream which could be applied at the onset of an infection? [/INST] Hello, There are many reasons for recurrent urinary tract infection like abnormal urinary tract shape, infection during intercourse, kidney stone, abnormal estrogen imbalance etcetera. So I suggest you take plenty of fluids regularly and maintain proper hygiene especially your private parts. As of now complete the course of nitrofurantoin as prescribed by your doctor. Moreover, it is not advisable to have cream as this may lead to hormonal imbalance also. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. </s>
