Unfortunately, i've had several of these
infections over the years. The two most
commonly prescribed antibiotics are
bactrim and cipro. They are distinctly
different, so you typically want to have
the doctor run a culture of the bacteria
from you urine. The culture will tell
the doctor the best antibiotic for the
job.
For acute prostatitis (fever, chills,
pain, etc.) insist on a longer course (30
- 45 days) of anitbiotics as the prostate
is very difficult for the antibiotics to
penetrate. Make sure that you take the
antibiotic as directed and complete the
full course.
