    Help Urine Infection
    Hi I have a urine infection (well think that's what it is) it hurts when I pee (at end of pee not whole way thru) I first noticed this on the 1st and went to doctors and got some antibiotics, took them and it got better but just today noticed it seems to have come back. WHAT THE? Should I wait a day or too to see if it goes away by itself or go back to doctors AGAIN ($$$$ I don't have! ) if I wait a day or 2 will that do me much harm?

    Drink some cranberry juice until you can get back to see your doctor.

    Most doctors and especially pharmisists recommend women to drink pure cranberry juice, not blended with other juices. There are also Cranberry pills but I think you would get better results with the juice. Drink two or three glasses for a couple of days. Are you still taking the antibiotics or are you done?

    Infection
    Hi,
    JesusHelper had a good question; did you take all the antibotics?
    If you did, and it has come back, then please go back to the doctor.
    As others have said, Cranberry juice, pure, is the best thing to avoid an infection of this type, but drinking 4 or 5 glasses a day might not "cure it" for now. It will definitely help.
    Sometimes, another type of antibotic might have to be used. I do wish you the best of luck.

    Hi there yes I have finished the tablits, there was 6 I think maybe 7 I was told to take 2 first day then took one a day. Maybe that was too few? It was trimorphin or something like that.

    Maybe you need to go back on the anti biotic, maybe the infection was a little mor stronger than the doctor anticipated, that happens sometimes, when I was a teenager I was very prone to them and sometimes I had to be on an antibiotic longer than a week. I wouldn't worry just call your doctor and tell them what's going on.:)
