My mother has Urinary Tract Infection.She bought AZO, but still has pain,mainly sitting and getting up.Help.?

Question

She doesnt have internet,so I'm getting on here to ask people what she should do.She's waiting on an answer.

Answer 1

if the otc does not do the job then she needs to see the doctor and get an antibiotic

Answer 2

I agree.... if there's a lot of pain, especially in her back, she needs to see a doctor. But lots and lots water and cranberry juice will help ease her symptoms somewhat. Also, my doctor gave me a prescription for stuff that helped ease the symptoms (having to go so often) as well as the pain...along with the antibiotics.

Hope she feels better! UTI's are the worst.

Answer 3

Drinking things that contain a lot of sugar is not a good idea. Tell her to load up on water and to go to the bathroom whenever she needs to.(tell her not to hold it in) If she is hurting when she sits up it could be more serious than a UTI...she may need to go to the doctor. If I were you I would tell her to make an appointment ASAP. The sooner she goes to the doctor the sooner she will feel relief.

Answer 4

Drinking cranberry juice helps, as does drinking lots of fluids. However, if there is a lot of pain and fever, or it's been happing for a long time, she needs to see a doctor. That can spread to the kidneys, which isn't good.

Answer 5

She need to be checked for a fallen bladder. It may need to be tact up. Does she work or walk on hard floors all day? What kind of test has she had done. Is there any blood in the urine, what are the symptoms. Please write back soon.

Answer 6

I have been having lots of uti problems . She needs to see her Doctor get antibiotics.

Answer 7

Drink cranberry juice. Lots and lots of cranberry juice.
