anyone you guys know the best cure??

Drink cranberry juice, coconut juice or just plenty of water..

I can't give you any med because Only the doctor can prescribe the medication for urinary tract infection.. See your Doctor though..

Also have the same problem..All I do is drink a lot of water and coconut juice. And I'll make sure that I don't control my urge to pee every time I feel it.

i use to take "Zinnat" but it needs the doctors prescription, there is a drug for kidney maintenance called "Kidney care" its a food supplement, don't know if its ok.. best is just keep a healthy diet and drink lots of fluid that is nothing like beer, or soda..

If by UTI you mean urinary tracked infection as Dee_el07 suggests then ...

I've had this a few times, its a hazard of my diabetes unfortunately. When it happens the doctor gives me a course of antibiotics. Does the trick real quick, but you must finish the whole course of treatment.

You need to see a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and to get the drugs prescribed, at least in the UK you do.

It can be very painful I know. Get well soon potchie!

Mostly it happens to women. If this happens to you, drink plenty of liquids especially water or coconut juice. You may also take antibiotics like ampicilin or amoxicillin to reduce the infection

I know, it happened to me once and it hurts real bad!!! It's easy to determine UTI when urinating

If you have UTI you need to see a physician. But if you have symptoms, AZO rocks! I keep the pills here in case and usually it relieves the symptoms...especially the discomfort. I also regularly drink cranberry (not the juice cocktail - full cranberry juice!) Azo also has a cranberry pill that you can take but I just drink the juice.

thanks for reply guys.. i appreciate

Drink plenty of water.
If not allergic, take "Trimethoprim" 200 mg twice a day for 3 or 4 days. Better consult your GP first to send Urine Culture and sensitiviy because sometimes bacteria in urine could be resistant to certain antibiotics.

try taking an antibiotic like ciprofloxacin and drink cranberry juice... try abstaining from colas, iced tea and junk foods while you still have your uti..
