Don't know of any home remedies. Bladder infections are caused by bacteria caught in the enclosure of the bladder and usually require an antibiotic specific to the urinary system.

I personally use 1 tsp of baking soda mixed with one 8oz glass of warm water. I do this for 3-4 times a day for a week.
I also take a cranberry capsule 3 times a day to keeps my urinary track healthy.
This is me and I am not a doctor. My grandma used this remedy.

remedy? not really- they are not sure what causes it- but I recently found information in a book that mentions it is possibly links to a yeast overgrowth in the body- and acidolipus and a low sugar diet with supplements would help- garlic,etc the book also recommends anti fungal medications by prescription

Yes; 5,000 mg of Ascorbic Acid (the cheap kind of vitamin C) each day for 5 days. This acidifies the urine, making an inhospitable environment for the infective organisms. Only the acid form of vitamin C will do the job. There are other approaches, but to me this is the easiest. If you are pregnant, you will need to taper off gradually when stopping the vitamin C; one mg less each day.
