AGAIN grrrr. i suffer UTI's pretty regualry, and its not a friday evening, nothing open until monday. I have a UTI and need some natural remedies that WORK. ive just been to woolies and got some cranberry juice and cranberry capsules, is there anything else i can do or shouldnt do??

drink a LOT of water - like a litre or more all at once, you'll feel uncomfortable for a little while with a tummy full of water but its good relief. Just be prepared to be up to the loo a bit

Always happens at the worst time doesnt it

drink 2litres of water per day (ETA you shouldn't drink more than 3litres of water.. you can actually make yourself sick if you drink too much water, it's a serious thing...)
don't drink cranberry juice like Ocean Spray, which has a high sugar and low actual cranberry juice
stay away from sugary things

Can you go to a chemist? Ural (think thats the spelling) is great too. Supermarkets may sell it too?

i just realised alex has a repeat left on amoxil from her chest infection, so im working out numbers and should be able to fill that *with pharmasists ok of course) and be all good

can you tell i hate drs and hospitals?? lol. i soooo dont wanna go. only the emergency room is open tomorow *being a shitty small town* so that would be my only other option and noooo way.

seriously that water thing works - I had one that started killing me of course early evening when everything was closed and a nurse friend suggested that - saved me!

Hey Hun,

I wouldn't take the Amoxil just yet - if it get's really bad you will need to have a urine culture done, and they will check what ab's the bug is sensitive too and then prescribe you something that's suitable.

You can get URAL from Woolies, just take that as directed and drink 2-3 litres of water, and if its not improving after that then go to the doc's.
