[|Human|] This past Saturday, I awoke with left side paid, and I was Dry heaving . I went to my M.D. and after examining me, and asking what I had eaten the night before, he concluded that I have Diverticulitus. He prescribed Cipro, which I am taking 2 x a day for 5 days, and this other medication , which off hand I do not renmember name.............. My question is.... I am still experiencing slight pain near my urinary tract ...... how long does it take for Cipro to clear this up?
[|AI|]  Dear visitor, these are symptoms of diverticulitis but this diagnoses can be confirmed only by CT-scan. I don't know it that was done. It should be performed to rule out diverticulosis of colon. Medicines need to be taken till the end. Usually it takes 2-3 days to start working, but there is no rule about it. U should do urinalysis also, but Cipro is effective for urinary infections as well. So I suggest if pain persist after antibiotics treatment you should do complete Garment. Evaluation.  Wish you good health.
