How Can UTI Be Treated?

Hi I have had a uti for 5/6 weeks now I was in a non English speaking country and couldn’t make them understand so had suffered this problem all that time I have just been. To dr here and she put me on Alprim tablets. It said NO POTASSIUM on the box. I have 2 questions 1’ when I 1st noticed this problem was, after having sex with my new husband I felt a pop sensation like something tore inside there was blood which was a shock, it’s the 1st time I’ve had sex in about 15 years. And the dr didn’t examine me. Should she have done !!! Oh I am 69 years old 2’. I have just eaten fresh salmon which I eat daily and realise it has potassium in I was just about to eat some pineapple and now find that has potassium too. Is it ok in foods or does it mean don’t take any thing with Potassium in !! Thank you jean

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Consume plenty of liquids . Cranberry sachet once daily in a glass of drinking water , organic citrus fruits , vitamin C supplements help a lot. Necessary antibiotics , urinary alkalisers , anti inflammatory medications require prescription of your doctor (who may decide depending upon your evaluation with required blood and urine tests ). Keep the genitals clean with antiseptic liquids , dry. Wear loose, clean, cotton inner wears. Avoid exposure to excess heat. Avoid smoking, alcohol if using. Keep blood sugar under control. Avoid sexual intercourse (if active) till recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
