She did not start the medication yet but will hopefully have a doctor appointment tomorrow. How long does treatment take?
Many thanks.

Depends on what antibiotic the doc uses. She should discuss Pyridium also will the doc. Usually on a patient; get a urine culture, urine C&S, prescription for antibiotics, prescription for pyridium ((for a few days) since it's a med used which stops the discomfort but causes the urine to turn bright orange--it stains badly...so keep the toilet clear of it and undergarments should be not good ones--may have to throw them out)).
Upon finishing the antibiotic patient returns a few days later (based on the medication used) for a repeat urine analysis and repeat culture.
