When I finally when to pee I knew I was going to start feeling like I have a UTI, then when I woke up this morning to use the bathroom my bladder part is burning so bad an has a tingly feeling that makes me squint my eyes and when I wipe theres a slightly pinkish color.

Hello dear,
The symptoms mentioned by you such as burning sensation during urination suggests Urinary tract infection.
The treatment involves:
1. Drinking lots of water (it dilutes the urine & reduces the burning sensation)
2. Antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice in a day (under guidance from your treating physician)
3. If there is associated fever, then paracetamol 500 mg three times in a day can be added.

So, instead of using OTC pills from Walmart, kindly consult your Doctor and start the treatment.

One more thing...avoid acidic foods, carbonated drinks and alcohol...& maintain good hygiene.
There is no need to worry...you will perfectly alright after taking the course of antibiotics.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
