In most uncomplicated cases of pyelonephritis, the antibiotic can be given orally (by mouth), and treatment usually lasts for 10 to 14 days. Commonly used oral antibiotics include trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim and others), ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin , but the choice of antibiotic will depend on your history of allergies and laboratory testing of the bacteria causing the infection.
