Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your description it seems that you are having recurrent UTI that fails to resolve with antibiotic therapy. Natural remedies won’t help in these conditions. You can try natural remedies like cranberry juices as it give symptomatic relief. Do a urine culture and start antibiotics and make sure that you take complete course as prescribed. If symptoms persist, we have to find out the cause for recurrent UTI, it might be undetected diabetes or prostate problems or neurogenic bladder etc. Consult a physician and get evaluated. As of now drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
