As the effect of single dose therapy is not as good as three-day therapy, it is no longer recommended at present. Furantoin can be used in the areas where the resistance rate of pathogenic bacteria to sulfamethoxazole is as high as 10% - 20%.

Second: the treatment of acute simple pyelonephritis. For mild symptoms, oral quinolones can be used. If the pathogenic bacteria are sensitive to compound sulfamethoxazole, this drug can also be taken. For severe cases or those who can not take oral drugs, they should be hospitalized and treated with intravenous quinolones or broad-spectrum cephalosporins. For those who are resistant to beta lactams and quinolones, aztreonam can be used.
