UTI for a long time

After our trip to Belgium, we missed our flight and got stuck in Boston for two nights.  Started noticing symptoms of UTI, mainly burning pee.  After getting home, start a cranberry supplement along with peppermint capsules.  Symptoms seem to ease a little.   Head down to SD to visit Baba, she's not doing well.  End up staying in SD, and she passes a week later.  UTI symptoms come back so finally decide to do the GoodRx and get antibiotics prescribed on July 13 (first symptoms June 29).  They give me Nitrofuranton MONO-MCR 100 mg (generic for Macrobid).  Every 12 hours for 5 days.  5 days later, no improvement.  By then, Emi is here and she recently had a UTI also and had leftover pills.  So I take Furadantine MC 100mg for 5 days.  Seems somewhat better but it's not gone.  By then I'm back home and start taking the cranberry and peppermint again.  It's now Aug 13, it's gone for the most part but I get the funky feeling inside my vagina when I get the urge to pee and also the first second I start peeing.  Kinda like a mild burn still.  I hope it goes away, will keep an eye on it for now.
