I've been having this issue where my urine culture shows Klebsiella Pneumoniae. I've done this test a couple of times over the past few months and it keeps popping up. I've tried antibiotics, but they haven't really helped. What medication should I consider to get better? I'm worried and just want to feel healthy again.

The persistent presence of Klebsiella Pneumoniae in your urine culture, despite previous antibiotic treatments, suggests a possible antibiotic-resistant strain or an underlying condition like a urinary tract obstruction, kidney stones, or a neurogenic bladder; consult your urologist or nephrologist to discuss further treatment options, which may include a urine sensitivity test to determine the effective antibiotic, alternative antibiotics like Amikacin, Gentamicin, or Fosfomycin, or procedures to address underlying conditions, and in the meantime, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene.

I'm really worried because I have a 32 mm stone in my kidney. Could you please let me know if Neeri tablets can help remove it? If you have any suggestions on other ways to get rid of it, I would really appreciate your advice.

To help dissolve kidney stones, you can try taking potassium citrate supplements. You can take Potrate MB6 tablets. It is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone as well. If the stone is too large to pass on its own, you may need to consult a urologist for further treatment options.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having this needle-like pain in my abdomen, mainly on the right side. I'm not sure if it's appendicitis or something else. One doctor mentioned it could be appendicitis, but another said it might just be gas. Also, I've been told I have a renal calculus that's 0.4 mm in size. What should I do next? Any advice would be great.
