What are the treatment options for E. coli infections?
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection: - Antibiotics: The primary treatment for E. coli infections is antibiotics. The choice of antibiotic can depend on the sensitivity profile of the bacterial strain. - Over-the-counter Medications: For symptom relief, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can be helpful. - Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids helps flush out the bacteria from the urinary tract. - Probiotics: Some evidence suggests that probiotics may help restore normal vaginal flora and prevent recurrent infections.
