I'm a 66-year-old woman who had a urinary tract infection (UTI) three weeks ago. I was treated with antibiotics for five days, but I never felt completely better. Last night, I started feeling uncomfortable again, going to the toilet frequently, and noticed pink marks on the toilet paper. This morning, I'm still experiencing frequent, small amounts of urination with pink marks. I'm very uncomfortable and don't know what to do. I'm drinking water constantly and can't see my doctor until tomorrow. Can you help me and tell me what to do?
