As i am sure you have been told drink plenty of water but i do know from my own experience that cranberyy juice is great as well and any alcer seltzer that you can get form a chemist!
Goodluck, i know how terrible they are! References :
Your painkiller of choice and cranberry juice. The juice tastes pretty crappy (There are some blends out there that make it a bit more drinkable), but keep chugging it and you will pee much more comfortably. References : Used to get those all the time–nothing helps like cranberry juice.
Has anyone told you about cranberry or uva ursi?
Cranberry juice will help, but ONLY if its fresh, aka you went to the health food store and ordered it made for you at their juice bar. You can also try cranberry capsules, people have been using them for thousands of years before there were antibiotics.
Uva Ursi: Herbal tincture (alcohol)
try gaiaherbs.com
they have a really good products, they even have one called urinary support, in capsules.
If you get the tincture, just shake it, put a half dropperful in a shotglass with a little warm water, and take it like you would a shot. as much as twice an hour, depending on the severity of your symptoms. Takind things in tincture form honestly is going to be the quickest way, in my experience, to relieve your symptoms.
whatever you do dont buy the cranberry juice in the store, because they add sugar to it which will only feed your current infection. Good luck!
You can find these herbs at a health food store, or whole foods. you can also call gaiaherbs.com or herb-pharm.com and ask where they have their products. References : I'm a holistic practioner who uses herbs.
