Hi,
With the kind of situation you are in, I would suggest you get readmitted.
If that is not possible then take lemon juice with salt and plenty of water. Since you have frequent urination-I suggest that you keep a urinary pot nearby and do not go to the toilet frequently.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
