What Causes Urinary Odor With Cold And Chills?
Question: Recently my urine has an odor, and I don't feel well. I feel like my blood sugar is low but eating does not help. I get cold chills and feel like I'm running a fever, but am not.
Brief Answer:
Suspecting a urinary tract infection, a few suggestions
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I suspect a urinary infection and so here are my recommendations:
+Drink plenty of water
+Keep your genital and private region as a whole clean
+Drink cranberry juice as tolerated
+1 tbsp baking soda in 1 glass of water as tolerated through the day
+Try to get your hands on a DISODIUM HYDROGEN CITRATE syrup and take 2 tsps three times a day
As you are not running a fever, I would not recommend antibiotics at the moment. But please make sure you feed well enough, as you will require all the energy you can get. And the chills and weakness can be expected to last for a few more days, but by drinking a lot of water (more than 3 litres per day) you can make up for this.
I hope and pray you recover rapidly and completely. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.

How would I get a U.T. infection?
I drink 60+ oz. of water daily. I rarely drink juices or milk. I drink alcohol and beer. I haven't had sex in a month. My diet hasn't changed.
Could it be something else? It is more like hunger pains.
When my body feels ill and I get woozy and my stomach kindof hurts, I know I have to get protein(food) in me or I'll pass out. Now I feel like that but eating doesn't make it go away.

It could be a number of other things, but diabetes seems more likely
