Cystitis or maybe a uti.

[memyselfi]

I need to get up for work in 4 hours, flip sake .
Symptoms just started about 4 hours ago .
I've had 3 sachets of cystitis treatment, plenty of water , I can't stop peeing and now my urine is pink . No temperature, I don't feel awful - just discomfort .
Any tips or tricks I'm missing ?
I have painkillers , Co codamol , paracetamol.
Should I be concerned at blood in my urine?
I'm scared to sleep.

Take ibuprofen. Get yourself to the doctors asap for antibiotics.
I'm a lifelong sufferer of cystitis and I finally found a doctor who took it seriously a few years ago.
Now every time after sex I take an antibiotic, pee and make sure I drink plenty of fluid. Plus I avoid caffeine and booze the next day. Sounds extreme but it works.
The sachets or cranberry juice have never done anything for me.
Infections are serious - if another part of your body was infected you would get proper medication straight away so don't put it off or listen to old quack cures.
