How can you get relief from a urinary tract infection?

Answer 1

If you have an actual infection, you must go to a doctor and get some antibiotics to cure it. If you just have irritation, there are several things that can help.

• Drink as much non-caffeinated liquid as you can - cranberry juice is quite popular, but not necessary if you don't like the taste
• Take phenazopyridine - in the US, this is marketed as AZO (Standard)
• Wear cotton underpants rather than polyester - polyester traps more moisture near the body and irritates the urinary opening more
• If you are female, always wipe your "private" areas from front to back, not back to front, to avoid wiping E. coli bacteria from your anus to your urinary system
• If you continue to experience irritation, try showering instead of taking baths - soaking baths can irritate the urinary opening

Answer 3

Buy an over the counter pain reliever such as AZO or Uristat. It will get you thru until you can see a Dr. for antibiotics.
