Have they done a sterile urine culture and sensitivity? The only way I am aware to do one is with a needle aspiration of urine from the bladder.
Just a suggestion because the antibiotics being used may not be the right ones.

Also: it is important to finish the entire course of antibiotics prescribed. Just adding that since some people are not aware and stop when the symptoms cease.
we did a culture with a free catch but needle cysto is more sterile i just prefer free catches even if a little contaminated and I always do first pee of the morning off back of the wee wee pad with sterile syringe and sterile bottle

make sure if doing cysto they use a ultrasound guided cysto
