You poor thing! Go to the store and buy Uristat. It's an over the counter med that cuts down on the bladder pain and is actually Pyridium which is the prescription med a Dr. would give you, it's just a lower dose. It works great! Take it as directed, also drink lots of water. Cranberry juice is no longer recommended like it used to be. It's so acidic that they have found out it makes UTI's worse. You also should not take baths while you are having a bladder infection. See a Dr. as soon as you can afford to. You don't want this to get out of hand. Believe me, I have a nerve-damaged bladder and have to self-cath throughout the day. I have suffered many bladder infections.
Benadryl liquid will help too if there is any internal itching going on. You might want to check out the IC network on the web. They have alot of useful tips for bladder disorders. Try to rest and please see a Dr. or clinic. Bladder infections need antibiotics like Macrobid or SMZ-TMP. Take care! My heart goes out to you, I know how painful this is for you!

I realize everyone is telling you to use all these juices but juices are not going to CURE you of this...They can help PREVENT it from happening but They can not CURE you of it... Bacteria love alkaline or base urine and by drinking these juices you keep your urine in an acidic state preventing the bacteria from growing but once bacteria start to grow you cant just rid them by drinking the juice... you may start to feel better because you will kill off some of the more fastidious bacteria but you will never get rid of all of it. The hardest thing for bacteria to do is to start growing they have to have favorable conditions but once the conditions are there and they start growing they can go through some rough stuff before they stop growing hence the reason we use antibiotics. I would try seeing if you cant just call your doctor over the phone and have him prescribe something for you, sometimes they can do that. Good Luck!

Go get some AZO Standard from any drug store and start taking them. Then drink lemonade, cranberry juice or water with lemon. I have had them multiple times with kidney stones, and have been to specialists. They all have told me lemonade, with less sugar is a good way to eat the bacteria causing the infection. But you need to take AZO and drink penty of liquids. This is a good way to clear it up fast and painfree.

No you need to see a doctor because if you don't get it treated it will spread to your kidneys or blood stream. Go to urgent care and they will test your urine and give you a prescription without running up a big bill.

Heaps of water, cranberry juice, Vitamin C tablets.. But if it does get worse, please get anti bio tics. It can travel to your kidneys if it's there for too long.
