Brief Answer:
use OTC pyridium

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are experiencing symptoms of an UTI and need medication to help tonight. there are medications available in the drug store in the feminine section for treatment of urinary tract infections. I usually recommend using pyridium which will reduce your symptoms but in the morning you will need to seek medical attention and a written antibiotic.

In additional to the OTC (Over The Counter) pyridium, drink plenty of fluids and take Tylenol or aspirin to help any pain or fever.

I hope this has answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care questions or concerns
