i have been taking Tylenol and Morton and Thera flu all week and they are not working
I had a sore throat Monday but haven't since. No difficulty urinating but it smells relly bad like ammonia
I wwas constipated earlier in the week but I have had two bowl movements a since the the llast one on Friday was very loose
ive never had a uti or kediney infection


Hello,
Thank you for your follow-up.
If the urine smells bad it is possible that you have an UTI, and you should get it tested. The belly pain can be due to the same. You definitely need a strong antibiotic ( Broad spectrum - Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily ), for a week. Regarding bowel movements, let me know if the loose stool persists.
I will advise you a urine test, an urine culture, and a CBC.
Please get back with these investigations.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards.
