 Hello Telspiglet,
I would recommend that your daughter have a urine culture performed if this has not previously been done. This will allow for the causative bacteria to be isolated and antibiotics sensitivities be determined to ensure that the antibiotics being used are effective. If she is still having symptoms I would recommend she see her doctor again for reevaluation.
Also, erythromycin is notorious for causing some stomach upset so her stomach pain may be associated with the antibiotic at this point rather than the actual infection. Dysuria (pain with urination) can take a few days to fully resolve but should be getting better after a day or two on antibiotics.
Best wishes.
