Depends on the cause of the infection.
If it is due to a stone e.g. in the kidney, bladder or urinary tract, you need surgery or lithotripsy as the solution; medication only helps or gives you temporary relief.
If it is due to an injury or viral cause, it would not need medication.
If it is a mild infection that will generally pass off by itself, you need to take lots of fluids, change the pH of your urine; check the pH; if it is < 7.0 then, it is acidic and you need to change it to basic by taking a fluid that is alkaline; if on the other hand, it is a pH of over 7.0, then you need to take 500 mg of Vitamin C every day with the intent to convert your urine into acidic; this way, you will tend to retard the multiplication of the bacteria or the organisms causing infection.
One other thing that you may wish to do is take frequently water or fluid boiled with barley seeds.

Attention Ladies, this is Suzi, many people have been writing in asking what the stuff was that I used to clear up my UTI last week, so I wanted to put the link to this stuff here
It is called CT - DM 
its best if you go to the dr….

Cleartract can be used as a preventative, but it is not a cure. You need to see a docotr so they can get you on meds.

I have heard Baking soda and water.

you can try the and vitamin c. avoid coffee and tea as it will make it worse. drink plenty of liquids.

You need to see a Dr. the usual RX is for an antibiotic, and taking some yogurt with it is also helpful. Follow up with d-mannose after the antibiotic regimen is completed. Cleartract alone will not clear the UTI and you will be at risk for kidney infection if not treated promptly. It is a serious infection it is cleared up easily if treated promptly. .

You can try flushing it out with lots of liquids. If you're having any pain in your lower back or "flank" region, or if it doesn't go away in a day or so I would go to the doctor to get some antibiotics.

I used to get those alot. I took the antibiotic for it so much that they didn't work anymore, like the bacteria that causes the infection built up an immunity to it or something. I went to a health food store and bought some concentrated d-mannose pills, which I still take to this day, and I truly believe it works.
I also started taking a liquid substance called silver hydrosol, which is basically tiny, microscopic bits of silver suspended in distilled water. I know that sounds a bit kooky… at least that's what I thought when I first heard of it. Silver Hydrosol is what was the commonplace medication was for many, many things before antibiotics were invented in the early part of the 20th century. There is supposedly some sort of reaction that occurs between the silver and the enzymes that the bacteria need to live, that causes them to die. Silver Hydrosol is supposedly good for hundreds of problems. Ever hear of the term "bluebloods" (mostly a historical word) used to describe wealthy people, especially in the deep south? That term comes from the fact that they usually had real silverware, ate/drank from things made of silver, so naturally they are going to ingest tiny parts of silver along with their food and have a higher concentration of silver in their system… well they also noticed that they didn't get sick as often as "common people" which is what lead scientists/doctors/whoever (sorry I don't remember) to come up with silver hydrosol.
You can find silver hydrosol at health food stores too, and they can probably tell you more specific info about it than I just did. I don't know much but I DO know that since I have been taking it and the d-mannose pills I have never gotten another UTI again.
Hope this info helps, & hope you feel better soon.

D-Manose
This is available at your local health food store. Since 90% of UTI's are E colie, it should work. If the cause is something else, then it won't. I read this at the University of Maryland on the net.

Cleartract is best for preventing UTI's. Ultimately you have to go to the doctor to get rid of it.
References :
Cleartract is best as a preventative. You should get a test and a culture that way you can know if d-mannose will help or not. It isn't good to let a UTI go untreated. It can lead to dammaging the bladder, kidneys, and is stressful to the pevlic muscles.
If you a lot of UTI's you should discuss with your doctor what may be increasing your risk of them. In some cases there is more going on than just UTI's and treating what else is going on may take care of the uti's all together.
References :
It's better to use a prescription antibiotic alongside things that will counteract the candida caused by the antibiotics and then detox once you are over the infection. It would take more garlic and other natural antibiotics and herbs and vitamins for the urinary tract than you could stand to swallow in a day to do much good with a serious infection and would take much longer to get relief.

Natural, Herbal remedy answers for the Urinary Tract
Uva Ursi or Bearberry
Uva Ursi also known as Bearberry was commonly used as a urinary tract antiseptic. Because the remedy is also an excellent diuretic it is still popular for for treating cystitis and kidney stones and gravel. It has been used in Chinese, Native American as well as European healing systems.
Bearberry is more effective if urine is alkaline, so avoid acid foods such as fruits, s, sauerkraut, vitamin C, etc. when taken as part of a regimen.
Blueberry or Bilberry
The dried berries and leaves of bilberry (Blueberry) have been urinary tract infections and kidney stones.
Extracts of bilberry have antiviral in cell culture for herpes simplex virus II, influenza, and vaccinia viruses. Kills or inhibits the growth of funguses, yeasts, and bacteria. It also kills protozoans such as Trichomonas vaginalis. Bilberry is an anti-inflammatory herb. So you can see why it’s use with urinary track infection.
Cleartract
When it comes to urinary tract infections caused by a strain of E coli bacteria, d-mannose compounds may help. Some of the compounds in the block the bacteria from sticking to the cells in the body, so that the body can more easily flush the bacteria out.
Many people drink the d-mannose or take capsules of d-mannose for the urinary tract infection.
Convenience – find them mixed together.
In addition you may find a mixture of the berries along with mannose and other botanicals that are sold in one supplement to aid the body in clearing the urinary tract infection. It works for about 90% of the people, and it is convenient.

You can try all the home remedies you like and it will go away, but you haven't killed the 'bug'. It will come back within a few weeks and you are starting all over again, and then again and again….
You need anti-biotics, dear, to kill the bug. So drive on down to the doctor's.
