How do I relieve.....?
Myself of a bladder infection. Or at least the part where i have to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes? Does anybody have some tried and true tricks for that? (yes, i am on antibiotics). Its driving me insane, I gave up last night on running in and out of the bathroom and just sat on the toilet for two hours. Help!
I know cranberry juice helps in the long run but I was wondering if there was something I could do to help right now.

Call the doctor who prescribed the antibiotics and ask for a couple of days worth of Pyridium. This medication helps with the pain associated with bladder infection and is great to use until the antibiotics kick it. Pyridium is not a cure (the antibiotic will cure it) but it takes away the symptoms.
There are no side effects of this medication that I know of but it does turn your urine orange.
Call your doctor right away. There is no use suffering with this when you can feel better soon.

They now make vitamin supplements that are the equivilant of drinking a couple of glasses of cranberry juice. In the supermarket they say "cranberry" vitamin on them.
It's good because you take the cranberry without drinking anything, thus you don't have to pee!!!
Other than that I say weather the storm--if you are taking antibiotics you should be fine in 3 days.
If you aren't fine within 3-5 days, call your doctor again.

Oh gah. I've had one I know how that is. Actually, the only thing I knew to do was take the antibiotics that were prescribed to me. But those never really helped because bladder infections keep coming back.

There is a wonderful medication you can get without a prescription called Uristat made by Monistat. It works wonders very quickly but be sure to wear something to guard your undies as it will cause staining. And don't be alarmed when it turns your urine bright orange. It is a god send for the constant need to go though. Good luck.

I'm sorry I don't know anything to make it better, but if you're already on antibiotics, and it's still that bad, your doctor should know so maybe you can do something different.

Sounds like constipation. You should go and see your doctor or the ER.
