Drink 100 percent or as close as you can get cranberry juice.

Here in Australia you can get a product from the chemist call Ural, which is a sachet and makes a fizzy drink. Don't know if you have it there but it's helped me before and I haven't even had to go to the doctor. Guess it depends on how bad the infection is though

Cranberry juice, make sure it doesn't have any added sugars or high fructose corn syrup. Also lots of water. I can usually feel a UTI when in it's infant stages by either sight or smell - sorry if this is TMI - but ... if my urine is bright yellow or orange, or if it has a strong odor - I know a UTI is starting and I hit the cran juice and water pronto.

If you are already suffering any pain, or have a problem urinating (feels you have to but not much happens), then you should see a doc for meds.

I get these infections once in a while also. As much as it feels like you are giving birth to a set of broken dishes (isn't that a perfect analogy?), cranberry juice will not help you if you already have the infection. If you drink a glass every day (infection free, of course) it will stave off future infections. Just drink plenty of water and hang on! Edie

Uristat will stop the burning--available OTC at your pharmacy. Sorry. UTIs are miserable.
