Suggest Treatment For A Bladder Infection
Im on my way to dinner with the family but..... I am quite sure I have a bladder infection. I was given a prescription for Nitrofurantoin Macrocrys in March which worked great but now I am having problems again. Are you able to give me a prescription or do I need to go to urgent care?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
There are some symptoms of bladder infection like pain or burning sensation during urination.
If you have any of them, then get a home testing for UTI. If infection is confirmed, should consult with your caring doctor for appropriate treatment.
If the symptoms are unbearable, then should go to ER for immediate evaluation and treatment.
Treatment consists of antibiotics for which you need prescription. Unfortunately we cannot provide to you as per terms and conditions of our portal.
Meanwhile, you should increase water intake and cranberry supplement.
Wish fast recovery.
