Best Answer

Generally not - because the antibiotic would be 'dismantling' the microbes causing the UTI (urinary tract infection). However, an antibiotic may cause vulvar irritation that may lead to symptoms of itiching and pain on urination - these symptoms may be mitigated by a specific cream. If the UTI is caused by a virus, then no antibiotic will solve the problem - the infection will in this case have to work its way out.
