I'm pretty sure I've got uti coming. Has started in the last 3 hours.

Can't get to boots/pharmacy until tomorrow

Any home remedy?

Tried bicarbonate and water, drinking plenty too

Eating raw garlic is supposed to ease symptoms.

Water, water, water. Drink loads. Try and flush it out as much as you can. It’s a pain to keep going to the toilet and you’ll probably be up and down all night but it really helps.

If you haven't got any cranberry juice then just drink plenty of water. Avoid citrus juices. Keep going to the toilet as much as you need to. Take some pain killers (paracetamol or ibuprofen). Maybe a hot water bottle to help with the discomfort. Cystitis is a bitch! I hope you feel better soon.

Water, water, water a tiny bit of bicarbonate of soda and nurofen. Definitely lots of nurofen to reduce the inflammation.

Absolutely no tea or coffee. Caffeine is a terrible irritant to your urethra.
