Since your wife is pregnant, it is important to treat the urinary tract infection promptly to avoid complications. She should see her doctor for a proper urine culture and sensitivity test to identify the bacteria, and then choose a safe antibiotic for pregnancy. Common options include nitrofurantoin or amoxicillin, depending on the bacteria. She should complete the full course as prescribed and stay well hydrated.
