I don't know how many times I have been told this when I have had a urinary tract infection - just drink lots of water and cranberry juice and it will go away. Well in my experience it doesn't go away! Grrrrrrr
After three days of pissing glass I finally convinced the doctor to give me antibiotics today. Kept getting told that the infection was mild and just to drink lots of water. Woke up this morning with extreme back pain, fever, and nausea. I can't help but think if they'd just given me antibiotics earlier it wouldn't have got so bad.
And this has happened before. About ten years ago I got sick over the weekend so called the doctor (different one this time) and they just said to drink lots of water. I ended up in hospital.
Has anyone actually cured their UTI by drinking lots of water? Please give me faith in this medical advice.
