Well guys it is fri night and the Dr's not in the office till mon and I think I have urinary tract infection. Anyone have any suggestions on ways to cure it or at least make it a more comfortable??? Thanks much in advance.
Well Guys it is sunday and I am feeling much better thanks to all the suggestions. I have been drinking cranberry juice around the clock and drinking lots of water. I also found some antibiotics from when i was sick last time and I have been taking them and I am feeling alot beeter. No more pain and no more burning. Thanks again!!!!
Drink plenty of water and lots and lots of cranberry juice, it should eleviate the great discomfort, but you will still need antibiotics sometime after tomorrow..Good luck
lots of cranberry juice, and maybe a trip to the ER, just to kinda get the antibiotics *sp* started
DRINK A LOT OF WATER AND OR CRANBERRY JUICE I GET THEM A LOT AND THAT IS WN=HAT I DO IF IT GETS TO TO BAD GO OT THE HOSPITAL AND GET MEDS MEDS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT IS GOING TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY
drink cranberry juice it will clean ur system and heal the pain, worked for me
Drink lots and lots of water! cranberry juice also help!
Hi A.,
Well I am sure that you will be going to the doctor probably tomorrowfor that UTI (Uninary Tract Infection). But just incase it happens again, drink alot of water and cranberry juice. Both have been known to help your body cleans itself. Plus, if you ever get pain from a UTI and once again it is on the weekend, go to the local store, something like Wal-Mart or CVS and buy a medicine that is called URISTAT. This will take the burning pain away until you are able to get to the doctor. Now the URISTAT does not treat the infection so you will still need to go to the doctor for possibly antibiotics. I hope that this helps you.

CRANBERRY JUICE STAT!!!! it will help flush out your system and get rid of the fun burning.
hope this helps (id write more but my son is climbing me)

I would go to the hospital. UTI's only get worse. I had a uti last year. the pain would come and go and I thought I would be fine, I will get over this. I was wrong, it got worse, it hurt wicked to go pee. I went to the ER and they gave me some meds and i felt a whole lot better.
this info comes from the healing power of vitamins and herbs i have on a shelf..... i have heard about the cranberry juice and used this myself a few years ago. The book also recomends vitamin c 500mg dosage every other hour, as tolerated. this i have not tried. good luck and i hope you are feeling better soon.
Go to a walk-in clinic! They're open on the weekends. If you look in the yellow pages you'll find some. You don't want to wait with an infection- you need to get on antibiotics right away. Good luck.
Drink cranberry juice, but I would suggest going to the emergency room, you will need antibiotics.
Yep,I can help. I got them chronically for most of my life, and now, haven't had one in 4 years.
Go to the pharmacy. Pick up Uristat. It's with the feminine products.
Also, mix a glass of the following: 8 oz cold water, 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinager. 2 Tablespoons of honey.
Stir really good, and drink down quickly.
It isn't as bad as it sounds, but I promise you it will work. When I finally got the courage to drink it, I didn't get them anymore.
We even gave a smaller version of the mixture to one of my old cats, he used to get them too because of an accident. It worked even with him.
Anyway, the Uristat will help with the pain, and the other will help with the infection. (And it HAS to be apple cider vinager.) You'll feel better in no time. (BTW, Uristat will turn your pee brick red. Don't freak, it's just the medicine)
Oh I feel your pain. Been there before myself. What has worked for me is taking cranberry capsules...the max dosage allowed on the bottle. I think about 4 pills 3 times a day. And of course drink lots of water and cran juice. In the past, this has REALLY helped me. Nothing but antibiotics will make the UTI go away but the cranberry should make you much more comfy until you can see a doc. Hope this helps!
They sell something for your situation over the counter. I cant remember whats its called, but I've seen it at CVS.
I believe there is a product called Uristat. I have used it before and it took care of the problem for me, it is an OTC, usually found by the feminine hygiene products.
hi A., you can drink lots of cranberry juice, but not the regular one - they are almost all water and sugar. not only is the concentration of actual cranberry very low, but sugar feeds infections. go to the health food store and buy cranberry concentrate, you will know its the right thing because you will be shocked first by the price and then by the vile taste. its horrible, but it works. i used to get utis alllll the time (until i learned that if you pee after having sex, you probably wont get them). you have to act right away, get the cranberry and drink as much as you can, straight, dont mix with water if you can deal with it, if not, mix in a little water. (now you know why the ones in the regular store are almost all water and suger - this is what cranberry really tastes like!) i do shots of it, as much as i can, as soon as i feel a uti coming on, and it almost always works. you need to drink a lot of water too, i try to do a bunch of shots over the course of an hour or so, then drink a lot of water, then start all over. do this a few times, i guess 2 or 3, depending on how your tummy feels. if this doesnt work in a day or so, you need to get an antibiotic. mine almost never comes to that, but i always act right away. (they also have cranberry pills, ive used them but was never too impressed with them, i think they are more of a maintenance thing.) i dont know how bad yours is, but if the juice doesnt work, get meds because you cannot let it go. also, if you have a sensitive stomach, i would skip the cranberry thing and go right for the meds. feel better, D.
A.,
Call your doctor, don't wait, it could travel to your kidneys if you wait. Depending on the doctor, he/she might order you something to get you started. I know for me, the first signs I call and something is ordered immediately, but when I start to feel it it has gone into my kidneys. I had bladder surgery years ago and because I had so many problems prior to that, my bladder is sort of desensitized until the infection gets bad. Trust me when it gets into your kidneys the pain is worse than childbirth. DON'T WAIT, CALL YOUR DOCTOR TODAY. Let me know how you make out.
Hugs,

hi A....
i dont mess around with UTIs. usually if its a weekend or nighttime, i go to the emergency room. i go from feeling a lil uncomfortable to peeing straight blood in a couple of hours. they do make over the counter pills called AZO Standard or something like that, they are like the little red pills that u get prescribed that help with the pain. they turn ur urine an orangey-red. other than that i dont know of anything. but u need to get treated qujickly because the UTI can turn into a bladder infection & then after that it can head to your kidneys.
h\best of luck....and i hope you feel better soon.

Cranberry juice drink alot of it. Also drinking it on a reg basis helps keeps you healthy.Any anti-inflamitory medication like tylenol should help with pain. But Monday do see the doctor as u probably need anti biotics. My gramma ended upn in a comma cause she got a UTI & it spread to het kidney so take care.
Drink some cranberry juice. Works everytime for me.
Drinking alot of cranberry juice and eating some yogurt may help. If nothing else "Water" it down till you can get to the doc.
I heard cranberry juice is a great helper so stop the burning when urinating. You can also check on WEBMD.com and you will definately find info on there such as symptoms and at home cures, that's where I go to find out anything realted to health and medication.
Hope you feel better soon.
Start hitting the cranberry juice and water as much as your tummy can stand. Take some motrin and that should help with any pain. I hope you can get to a Doctor right away and get feeling better.
I swear by Uristat. It is available over the counter and works within 45 minutes. Drinking alot of fluid helps but I find I always need the uristat.
Lots of Water and Cranberry Juice.... and even after it clears try to make them a regular in your daily life......
Good Luck

Sorry it's sunday and I didn't see this sooner! I've had urinary tract infections before and the thing that always worked was to buy a big jug of cranberry juice! Drink as much as possible. It realy does help you will notice a hudge difference. There's also over the counter pills that you can buy specifically for this problem. Sorry if I didn't help much but this is all I know that could help..hope you start feeling better soon, good luck!!
I would call your doctor or whoever is oncall.........what about going to one of those urgent care places? like lifetime health? They will advise you where to go. There is the Mac center in orchard park to. I wouldn't suffer all weekend.
Drink only water and cranberry juice until you can get to the drs on monday since he will then prescribe antibiotics
Drink alot of water and cranberry juice,
