Evening all, I have had two lots of antibiotics the last two weeks for a UTI didn't feel too bad yesterday now this evening back to square one back in lot of pain stinging after going toilet any tips to help....drinking plenty of cranberry juice & other fluids

Can you take paracetamol? My sister who knows a bit about these things suggested keeping drinking fluids and take some paracetamol. It helps lessen the urge to go to the loo every few minutes. Other than that you need to get to see a doctor this weekend. I have heard that putting yoghurt on like an ointment helps, as it is cool and soothing.

Hi fairly new here but read your post. Supplementing D-mannose is said to clear it within a few days, as it is the main ingredient found in cranberries.

As your Doctor sent a urine specimen for MC and S? It could be a case that a different or combination of antibiotics are required. If you start to get flank pain I would ring 111 for advice.

You need urine sample tested.I am on a preventative antibiotic for past no of years as I had uti constantly... I take it just going to bed and it does the trick.Get bk to gp with sample or leave into nurse asap.Warm baths(nothing in bath only water)helped me and hot water bottles /panadol and drinking lots of water..sipping a glass every 30 mins.Good luck.

I recently started getting UTI's. Never had them before in my life. A friend recommended Cranberry Forte by seven seas. They don't cost very much and aren't loaded with huge amounts of sugar like the juice. I think they are helping - available from Amazon (difficult to find in the shops).

Hi. I use D-Mannose. Just had a UTI after 15 months free of them. I had stopped taking the supplement 9 months ago. I find the supplement eases symptoms quickly and on this occasion it got rid of it after 2 days. Now using 3 times a day until I feel confident it is clear. Will take it once a day thereafter.
