    Sounds like dehydration. Dring at least 1 gallon of water per day, NO CAFFEINE, no greasy foods, no alcohol. Cranberry juice might help but don't count on it.

    You might be dehydrated. Drink only water (no soda, etc) for a couple of days, and drink as much water as you can. Actually, if you take your weight in lbs, and divide that number in half, that's the number of oz's that you should *try* to drink per day. A trick my doctor taught me. :) A lot of people live in a state of mild dehydration.

    Also, if the uti is returning, garlic is a natural antibiotic. The brand called Kwai Garlic is extremely powerful, and you can get it at most drug stores. They're small pills, easy to take. As long as you're not taking any prescription meds that thin your blood, you can take a whole lot of garlic and be completely safe. Even the dose suggested on the box, daily for several days, would probably help ward off an infection. When I think any kind of infection could be coming on (ie sinus infection), I'll take like 3 times the normal dose, 3 times a day, and that always gets rid of it.

    Good luck!

    on an identical time as there is an ammonia scent to maximum urine, an exceedingly sturdy ammonia or chemical scent is a threat sign and in many situations potential there's a kidney undertaking happening. Have the vet examine the urine, they could do a draw at as quickly as from the bladder for this. Ask approximately kidney matters, kidney failure and CRF. one in each of mine improve into getting allergies to vaccines, we've been in a position to tone him down particularly with a 0.5 teaspoon of recent child's benedryl an hour earlier the vaccination. whilst a cat gets reactions, make helpful that purely one vaccine is provided that day, no longer 2 or greater on the comparable time.

  • Sometimes the taking of anti-biotic gives off a scent when you pee. Give it a day or two if the scent doesn't go away better have a real check (pap smear). when I was working in Sri Lanka, I met a German doc and he told me that I had no std simply because I didn't use. The vitamin C i take makes my urine acidic in test.

    You need to go back to the doc. You may still have the bladder infection. If you do have another UTI INSIST that they do a urine culture to to identify what bug is causing it. Be sure you are drink at least 8 full glasses of water a day to help flush your bladder out too.

    maybe you should continue to drink lots of water and cranberry juice with no other sodas or sweet fruit juices. and empty your bladder as soon as you feel the need to do so.

    Try drinking more water to dilute it. If this doesn't work, contact your doctor.
