Question

Kayley has all of the symptoms of a urinary tract infection over a holiday weekend. She recalls that in the past, the urinary analgesic, phenazopyridine, has relieved her symptoms very quickly, so she asks a friend to pick some up for her rather than braving a crowded health clinic. As before, Kayley gets rapid relief of her symptoms. Should Kayley be concerned about anything else?

Answer 1

Yes. Phenazopyridine treats the symptoms, but will not cure the infection, so she still needs to see her doctor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, Kayley should be concern about curing the infection. From the question, it is stated that Phenazopyridine relieves her of the symptoms but does not necessarily cure her of the disease. Hence, the needs to see a doctor for the proper treatment of the infection.
