UTI hell, what do I do?

Gooooood it hurts so much. I have tried the usual- drinking lots of water, cranberry juice, have taken a course of the over the counter cystitis relief sachets. I've had it before but never this bad- I can't do anything at all, including sleep, and I had a bit of an incontinent dribbly moment earlier.Blush It's a lower infection as I haven't got a pain in my kidneys, no temp (but I do look a good few months pregnant, which I'm not!)
Any tips? I am literally at the point of tears.

Go to OOH you need antibiotics. I go at the very first sign. I genuinely considered throwing myself down the stairs one time I had a uti. I wouldn't wait until tomorrow - get on the phone to 111 and try and get an appointment.

See a doctor asap. I suffer really bad and regular from them. I can ring up now at first sign and drop in a sample. Then pick up meds at chemist.

Walk in or 111. Do not pass go. Do not collect £200.

You need antibiotics asap.

Beg if you have to.

Get to OOH, you need antibiotics. Make sure you take the full course.

Hope you feel better soon Flowers

Definitely do as everyone has said. Ring 111, get an OOH appt or, if nothing is available, get to A&E. But that is very much the 2nd option. 111 is your first port of call. You will be seen tonight and given antibiotics.
