You have two more attempts, so try again. Congratulations! Nitrofurantoin is the best choice for this scenario. In areas with an antibiotic resistance to a sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim combination drug, nitrofurantoin is the best first line of defense antibiotic for an uncomplicated UTI. This drug would also not contraindicate with Ms. Henderson's penicillin hypersensitivity.
