Hi,
How are you? Antibiotics are used to manage prostatitis. For chronic prostatitis, prolonged intake is necessary  because the infection may recur or may not go away.  If you experience symptoms despite the treatment,  it is best that you inform your doctor about this for proper management. Complications such as urinary retention or  sepsis. Since UTI infection may also lead to prostatitis, if not treated, kidneys may indeed be affected. It is best that you discuss this with your doctor or be referred to a urologist. Take care and do keep us posted.
