A male patient presents with painful voiding, urgency and frequency. He had seen a doctor 2 days prior and was prescribed nitrofurantoin MR 100mg BD for 7 days. He has not improved since starting these antibiotics. He describes a ‘pink tinge’ in his urine this morning. His culture results have come back as “soiled”, therefore no result has been published. What is the most appropriate management?
