General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Bladder infection needs treatment with antibiotics.

I suggest doing a urine culture to confirm the bacteria that is causing the symptoms and the antibiotic that can treat it.

Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

I also suggest continuing drinking liquids and especially cranberry juice.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
