You can drink cranberry juice. It changes the pH in your urine and makes it harder for bacteria to thrive. However, this doesn't usually cure a UTI ... it can help prevent them if you feel one coming on or think you might possibly contract one. The drug store sells medicine that helps to numb your urethra so the pain isn't so bad, but this doesn't get rid of the infection. The best thing that you can do is go to the doctor. Bacterial infections can spread to other parts of your body. UTI's can become kidney infections, and the bacteria can easily spread from your kidneys to your bloodstream, turning a small infection into a system-wide one.

An antibiotic called Cipro. I know this because my son is a paraplegic and is plagued with numerous UTIs. Cipro seems to work the best.
