Anyone got any tips on what to take for a possible water infection?

[Silverlady5]

I take thyroxine and bp medication so I'm unsure what's safe to take? I used to take potassium citrate but think that was before I was on bp tablets.

Any help greatly appreciated 🌞🌞🌞

Hi there Silverlady5 It maybe best to find out if you have an infection or not by taking a water sample to your GP or nurse to get it checked out. If it is an infection it would depend on what is causing it to how it would be best to treat it. If a true water infection go's untreated it can cause severe pain and other problems like kidney trouble. I was hospitalised with a severe infection it made me very unwell. So please have a word with you GP and keep us updated xx

I had one myself a few weeks ago hun, got some powders from the chemist (they did check what meds I was on first) and drank lots and lots of water to try flush it out but I had to go the docs in the end for 3 day course of anti-biotics. x

Hi sweetie firstly you should see your gp as to the reason why you have the infection. They might give you some antibiotics. I drank cranberry juice for years every morning and never had a infection again also it helped with my mouth ulcer and I didn’t get them anymore either. Fingers crossed 🤞 for you sweetie that you get better soon. 🤗🤗🤗🌹🌹🌹xxx

Thank you Jan. People are so kind and helpful on here. Things have improved by just drinking plenty and seemingly flushing the bugs out so fingers crossed and legs!! It's going away 😄😄😄 xx

You need to see your doctor. Not a good idea to try to treat an unknown problem.
