All you can do is take her to the hospital and get her medacine filled. Her meds are probably guna cost money though unless you ask the doc at the hospital for the 1 day pill and they may just give it to her if you let them know she has no insurance. References :
Drinking lots of cranberry juice is known to be helpful and also lots of water. Beyond that, not much. Only anti-biotics will clear it up. References :
if she has a UTI she needs to definatley go to the hospital so she can be put on antibiotics another thing that can occur woth a UTI is a kidney infection. having a UTI and a kidney infection is not fun at all. it would propably be better to take her to a hospital than a clinic anyways.i didn't have medical insurance either when i went but the hospitals do have a thing where you might beable to qualify for financial assistance depending on how much money she makes. i had at least 10 hospital bills and my husband had about 7 and they paid for all of our hospital bills we owe absolutely nothing.good luck and i hope your sister feels better. References :
cranberry juice is good and high doses of vitamin C. They have cranberry pills at the drugstore also that you can get. She really should go to a doctor though if her symptoms don't improve because it is very easy for a UTI to turn into a kidney infection which can be very serious. She is probably gonna have to go on antibiotics. I would stay away from hospitals because they are gonna be very expensive. A clinic is better and talk to a pharmacy about the generic antibiotics that are on a $4.00 plan. Cipro is the common antibiotic used for UTI's and I believe it is very cheap so you may want to mention that antibiotic to the doc if that's not the one they prescribe. References :
SHE NEEDS ANTIBIOTICS ASAP! Nothing over the counter will cure an infection. References : 2 people have died in the last week because of a UTI turning into a kidney infection then into sepsis.
