it sounds like it can go away naturally in a few days if you take care of yourself. if it is serious, you should go to the doctor and get some antibiotics though. my gf gets this chronically (a few times a year, in the winter for some reason). i personally think it is also the result of sex.
nevertheless, i feel like it is ridiculous to pay $150 for a doctors appt for her to get the antibiotics. she knows instantly when she has the problem, why do we need a doctor to diagnose it?
in any case, drink as many fluids as you can. cranberry juice stops the bacteria from attaching to the walls. peeing gets rid of the bacteria so pee as frequently as possible. fruits, vegetables and yogurt help. stay away from pure sugar because the bacteria thrive on it. homeopathy and vitamins should help. ibuprofen/advil will stop inflammation.
various urinary pain medications exist OTC. if you want to try to beat cystitis without antibiotics, i suggest taking those (although they will not "kill" the bacteria like antibiotics) and drinking tons of water. don't have sex for a week. if you don't feel 'cured' in that week, see a doctor. if you feel better, continue with the natural treatment and hopefully you wont have another cystitis attack. alcohol will probably make symptoms worse.
additionally, antibiotics may rarely be ineffective. antibiotics may also kill all the "good" bacteria in the problem area, leaving you prone to more infections. eat probiotic foods in that case.
good luck

∙ 14y agoNo, you must see a doctor if you have a bladder infection. Without antibiotics, the infection will quickly move into the kidneys causing a kidney infection. That is more painful and sometimes you would have to seek hospital attention for that. Going straight to the doctor for antibiotics right when you feel symptoms of a bladder infection is the best thing to do.

No, antibiotics are not the right medication for a cold. Antibiotics are for treating bacterial infections.
