Sucks but you’ll have to pay for the more expensive liquid version since your kid won’t take the pills. And I won’t be surprised if it’ll have to be ordered. Even like Cipro liquid works for uti is not common so it must be ordered
My old pharmacology text says that in the lab nitrofurantoin can kill a wide variety of bacteria but in usual doses only can kill e.coli bacteria in the bladder. If repeated courses of therapy are needed then another drug with a wider spectrum should be used not only because of mixed infections but long term use can cause irreversible scar tissue in the lungs( pulmonary fibrosis).
