UTI?

About two weeks ago I came down with a cold. When it didn't get better I made an appointment with my primary. She diagnosed sinusitis, said my sinuses were inflamed, and sent me home with a nasal spray regimen. I started feeling better then came down with a cough two nights ago. Next thing I know I develop excruciating body pain from my hips to my head. I also began coughing/vomiting yellow mucus. After calling the Ob nurse, I was sent back to the doc for a checkup. Turns out I whatever virus I had initially led to 100.7 fever, and uti, and an upper respiratory infection. I've been assigned 4 days of bedrest, antibiotics, tylenol, and an antihistamine.

I've never had a uti before, however, I've heard they can be quite painful. Has anyone else dealt with them during pregnancy? The weirdest thing is that I don't feel any uterus pain. I guess I always just assumed uti mean painful irritation down there. If anyone has any symptom management tips please advise! I'm already drink a lot of water and have been nibbling as much as I can. My ears hurt now too so it's hard to work up an appetite.

    Uti need a certain antibiotics. I would go get your urine cultured. I have been fighting one for 8 weeks now they can become very serious for pregnant ladies.

    They gave me an antibiotics to take every 6hrs for 10 days. She said it should also help the upper respiratory infection. I'm just wondering if there's anything else I can do. My entire aches, especially my head and ears. I hate the thought of taking so much tylenol, but I'm literally forced every 6 hrs on dot because the of the symptoms. :(

    For me certain antibiotics lead to yeast infections. I think lots of fluids- water and cranberry juice is supposed to help! Hopefully after a day or two you'll feel better!
