At-Home UTI Treatment Tips
Because most UTIs are caused by bacteria, treatment typically requires antibiotics. As such, it’s a good idea to visit a medical provider like the ones at Erlanger Express Care whenever you begin experiencing UTI symptoms. But until you can receive professional UTI treatment, you may want to try the following at-home remedies:
- Drink plenty of water and unsweetened cranberry juice.
- Eat lots of foods with high water content (e.g., cucumbers, lettuce, melons, and strawberries).
- Avoid alcohol, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, and foods and beverages that are especially acidic, since these can all irritate the bladder.
- Use the bathroom whenever you feel the urge.
- Wear loose clothing.
- Take a probiotic.
If you’re experiencing pain in your abdomen or pelvis, you can also take a warm bath or apply a warm compress. But be sure to consult with a medical provider before taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, since these have been shown to increase the risk of complications with kidney infections.
