I made a salve of baking soda and pure raw coconut oil which has antibacterial/antifungal properties. It helps with any burning around the opening of the urethra, until the baking soda/lemon drink takes affect. Re-apply after you pee.
Baking soda and lemon juice!!!
I saw the suggestion on this page...And I've got to say thank you so so so so much!!! Got my first UTI yesterday and every trip to the toilet was hell. Painkillers did not work at all. (I an also already on antibiotics for one day). So I drank warm water with 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp fresh lemon juice. Nearly painfree for my next pee!!!!! Super thanks guys for the advice.
This remedies looks so good, I have it now while posting. I'm in severe pain, I get this a lot, and frankly getting fed up... Lets all invent a pill that takes it all away in one capsule... I don't have baking soda as we don't eat much haha but have citrosoda cranberry can I replace this ingredient or not really... Thanks for all your advise gonna do it now.
I have only suffered from UTI once or twice in my life but recognized the dreaded symptoms straight away and as it was a weekend, knew it would be difficult to get medical attention. The condition had worsened during the early evening so after putting up with the pain and urgency to urinate for some time I turned to the Internet for some guidance on home relief and found this site.
I was a bit skeptical in regard to the seemingly simple remedies offered but within ½ hour of taking a glass of warm water with ½ a tablespoon of baking soda and the juice of a lemon, applying a hot water bottle to my lower abdomen and supplementing all that with 500mg of Ibrubrofen, I began to feel relief from the pain and the urge to urinate. By this time it was around 2am but I managed to sleep for a couple of hours and when I woke and needed to go to the bathroom again I found the symptoms had largely subsided.
I repeated the treatment and slept until morning with no further discomfort. Although tired from lack of sleep, I was able to take part in scheduled lawn bowls matches the following day and so far have had no more problems. Thank you to all of you who took the time to write on this page with so many different and obviously effective remedies – Doctor Internet was a real blessing!
Apply a little plain yogurt to area around urethra and burning will go away in about 5 minutes...Then see doctor for an antibiotic and drink lots of water to flush out bacteria.
I tried cranberry juice, garlic, vitamin c and probotic. But eventually I ended up getting fever. When you get fever make sure you go see the doc and get antibiotics!! Antibiotics is the only thing that works with fever.
Hi...I had been having UTI quite frequently nowadays. Usually in the past, a packet of ural or a dose of antibiotic will kick it out but this time, I've been having re-currant attack. It started 2 weeks ago when I was having UTI with glucose and also bacteria in my urine test and so the doctor prescribed me 3 days of antibiotic and after 3 days I was good.
Then I went on a holiday and did not consume enough water plus took a lot of coffee and sweet stuff so it was back. So another trip to the doctor and another round of antibiotic. Again I was good again after 3 days and happen to take the day off for a cinema trip and as you can't keep running to the loo in the cinema...The pain was back again..I was so fed up with trip to the doctor that I got some UTI home test kit from the pharmacy. The test result show no infection but for some reason I still have the lower stomach pain symptom.
Had not been able to sleep well for the past 2 nites. Last night I woke up at around 4 am to take a packet of ural and put a hot water bottle on the stomach. Did another home kit test again just now and the result was again negative (with positive for blood as having my P).
Had not try cranberry juice before as I am prone to reflux but am thinking of giving it a try today. Am thinking of giving D-Mannose a try too if I can find it over here..Am trying barley water too (home boiled).
I WAS DESPERATE AND IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I had a bladder infection that became worse as the night progressed. I tried everything, I was taking massive amounts of cranberry, Uva Ursi, D-Mannanose and friendly bacteria capsule along with lots and lots of water. As the night went I was in incredible pain, fever and no pharmacies were open.
Large glass of warm water with 1/2 Tbs of baking soda and 1/2 lemon.
1/2 hour later thought I was feeling some relief.
1/2 hour after first dosage repeated the above.
15 min. later started to feel more relief, another 15 min later reduced significantly and fell asleep.
1 hour later went to bathroom and no more intense pain in bladder and 75 percent of the burning sensation when I urinated went away. Slept for 4 more hours, and repeated the warm water, baking soda and lemon juice. 30 min. later I am almost normal - I AM AMAZED!
I did it and never needed to take any antibiotics....And I would have if it was not the middle of the night. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR POSTS! I AM SO GRATEFUL!!
I'm 19 years old and I frequently get UTI pains. It's frustrating because I've to constantly be near a bathroom and it disturbs my entire routine.
Since the past two days I was suffering from it, I tried the textbook method and kept myself hydrated throughout the entire day, the pain went away but at night it started again. The best part was that I was also on my period so basically it was hell.
At around 3am it got worse and I couldn't sleep so I started to search and I came across this site. I love you guys for posting this stuff. I tried a tsp of baking soda and one tsp of lemon juice and within 15mins the pain went away and I was able to pee like a normal person. Though it kind of upset my stomach a little bit but IT IS WORTH THE RELIEF!
I've recently been experiencing mild stinging and constant feeling of needing to pee, and I've tried tons of remedies, none really curing, (lots of cranberry juice can make me very sick to my stomach), and recently I've read that consuming at least a daily intake of 3 glasses of lemon water will work. I've tried the lemon water, which works for about a half hour, then the symptoms re-appear.
