I went to the Dr. And was diagnosed with a Uti. Now I'm taking Bactrim DS and drinking plenty of fluids. I'm also taking cranberry supplement and garlic capsule I read this is good for a uti
Brief Answer:
Burning sensation will gradually disappear
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This burning sensation will eventually disappear in the due course of antibiotic therapy.
You seem to have been put on appropriate medications only, so it's advisable to continue the same medications as prescribed by your doctor.
Likewise, it's also important to maintain adequate hydration by taking 2.5 to 3 liters of water a day.
Post your further questions if any.
