Opinions needed please, on whether I really need to take this to the doc or not. Had cystitis since yest morning, very ouchy. Was on phone to mum today, who gave me a long lecture about how I needed to go to the doc and get antib, or it would go into my kidneys and be really serious and even more painful.
The thing is, last time I used ab's (also for cystitis) I got thrush straight aftre and it took me 9 months to get it cleared up. Admittedly this was about 15 years ago, but I haven't used ab's at all since then.
Can i just ignore my cystitis (ok, not actually ignore it, but drink loads, take bicarb and lots of cranberry juice, with some paracetamol thrown in - that's not really ignoring at all I suppose) and rely on my (normally healthy but a bit run down at the mo) body to fight it off itself, or should i be phoning hte gp in the morning?
