How Can A UTI Be Treated?
How likely is a UTI to go away on its own? I have one that came on suddenly yesterday. I went to the walk in clinic today but their list was full, and I have a heavy work week starting tomorrow. My symptoms have backed off considerably since yesterday; they are very mild today but still present. I am taking cranberry pills and drinking lots of fluids; last night I took 1 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in water, which seemed to help. Could I fend it off this way? I'm covering shifts for my boss who is away this week so missing work is not an option, and the clinics where I live have really lousy hours.

Hi i do care for your concern.
Most of the times the urinary tract infection requires medical intervention due to the nature of symptoms produced.
The measures you are following will add to the help and prepares the mucosal lining to fight against the bacteria.
However antibiotics such as fluroquinolones are required to completely cure the disease.
I would advise
To continue the measures that you are following and consult your physician as soon as possible and get antibiotic cover.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic
Mild UTI presenting with burning micturation are likely to resolve by itself by conservative measures.
Keeping drinking adequate water and maintaining your hydration.
You can take syp.cital 10 ml in 1 cup of water for 3 days to alkalinize urine.
If the symptoms last for more than 5 days or symptoms like fever or flank pain appear,you may need to visit physician/urologist.In that case,you may need USG abdo and oral antibiotics course for 7-10 days.
Hope I answered your query.
Any further query is welcome.
