Andrea,
Im surprised your on Amoxicillin. The drug of choice for Bladder
infection is usually Macrobid. Maybe he gave you Amoxicillin because he
thought he may kill 2 birds with one stone if perhaps it was something
else. Anyhow ask him about the macrobid and why he chose not to put you
on it. ARe you drinking alot of water??? Drink tons and tons!!!!
