Can you please let me know if it s normal to have residual pain this long a after?I am on the antibiotic for 21 days. Doctor: Yes my dear, pain may persist even after resolution of the infection. But if im ur treating doc, then I'll do ur urine examinatin to confirm and document that infection get resolved or change antibiotic accordingly if not.
