    Well you do need to go to the doctors to get an antibiotic so it doesn't spread any where else. But I have felt one coming on right away and started using Cranberry Pills to cure it really fast but you have tto take them like 2-3 times a day and drink cranberry juice and lots of water and if that doesn't work in a week you will need to see a doctor to clear it up so it doesn't turn to anything worse. good luck

    Your doctor can prescribe you antibiotics to take care of a uti. When I didn't have health insurance I would drink water with a tsp of apple cider vinegar twice a day for about 2 weeks. This always worked. It also would relieve my symptoms almost immediatly. The taste was hard to get use to though. Drink lots of water!!

    Go to the doctor for a proper diagnosis. Take your presecription until it is finished. In the meantime drink plenty of clear fluids - water and cranberry juice are the best.

    Yes, drink water. Don't over do it, about 5-6, 8oz. .and cranberry

    juice, 2 8oz glasses- not all at once, within a 4-6 hour time

    period. If you can't drink cranberry (contraindicated with certain

    anticoagulant medications) call you family doctor.

    Cranberry juice is a terrific aid ....its acidic content helps fight the infection..... so do AZO tablets, which you can buy over the counter.

    Drink LOTS of water, too...it helps flush out the infection.
