Cleartract Juice and even a daily glass of beer can relieve some of the symptoms, but if you truly think you have a UTI you should get to a doctor and get on antibiotics. Urinary Tract infections can spread and cause serious sometimes fatal problems in the pelvic area and also can lead to some reproductive problems. Get to a doctor and set up a payment plan if you have to. Most doctors will give you samples these days if you let them know that you cannot afford to go to the drugstore and buy meds. Also many drug companies now have programs to help the uninsured to get their products. I can not stress enough however that you need to see a doctor.

your county health dept. should be able to help you, (if you live in the u.s.) if you have fever, get medical attention right away, you can drink lots of d-mannose , but as expensive as it is for the amount you would need- just go to a clinic or the health department, probably would be cheaper not to mention healthier. (in addition, you may have an underlying health issue that needs to be addressed) good luck!!

This can only be resolved with antibiotics, once it is cleared up you can help to prevent it by drinking d-mannose , and water. Also make sure after you have sex to use the batheroom to flush out your urinary tract. When you go to the doc ask them if they have sample antibiotics if your insurance does not cover them.

There must be a clinic in your area or go to the ER, they'll just have to bill you. Infections are only relieved with antibiotics, if it is truly an infection it will only get worse and can be quite dangerous could travel to your blood stream and cause more problems. Drink plenty of water and d-mannose may help the discomfort, please don't wait especially if you start running a fever!

Chamomile tea is believed to cure infections, so drink at least 3 cups of tea at room temperature or if you prefer drink it with ice. It should help relieve the pain and if you have a fever it will help you with that too. I have used this home remedy before and it sure works, so try it out. The first cup that you drink will do the trick, but like I said drink 3 cups for a period of approximately 3 days...you'll be fine! Take care.
