i had one that needed 3 types of antibiotics!!!! you see with antibiotics its a bit like trial an error as certain ones kill certain bacteria better than others....so it may just be the case that the ones you have taken were`nt the best to treat the particular infection you have. dont worry the 3rd lot of tablets i had were massive and stank of cat wee!!! everytime i burped i could smell them!! them got rid though xxx

It's really common Bronte, especially as bugs become more and more resistant to antibiotics - the list of what will work gets shorter and shorter and it becomes more and more important to find the one that will specifically target what you have. The culture growth will tell them exactly what it is you need x

Hi Bronte, I get water infections all the time and I have often had to have 2 or 3 different antibiotics to cure it. The last time I had one at Xmas the doctor kept me on a low dose of antibiotics for 2 months to help keep infections at bay.
