Hi Juno,
A study by the US National Institute of Health smugly describes Penicillin's efficacy against UTI's as being a rational choice.
Source: NIH / PMC477226
However my research leads me to believe that Penicillin's efficacy may also be dependent upon the strain of bacteria that's causing the infection. Therefore it may be a good idea to have your doctor analyze the bacteria through whatever diagnostics are deemed appropriate, in order to ensure that taking Penicillin is indeed the best approach.
If you're unable to get in to see a doctor, perhaps a local pharmacist could at least advise you on Penicillin's standard adult dosing protocols for a UTI.
I hope this helps!
