I have been experiencing a stinging/Burning feeling when I pee, and occasionally notice pink spots on the toilet paper. I assumed it was a UTI so I've been drinking cranberry juice for the past two days, but the burning has not gone away. I haven't had sex since the burning feeling started, 4 days ago. I can't visit a doctor due to not having health insurance. Are there any home remedies, I can use to get rid of this?
**1. Ideally urine sample should be sent for culture- sensitivity and colony count, before initiating treatment. As soon as the result of sensitivity test is available, treatment is started [or changed, if already started] according to maximum sensitivity.2. since you don't have health insurance, even then predisposing factors to infection like: obstruction, calculus,diabetes should be properly identified and managed/treated [for which opinion of urologist is necessary since he may distinguish lower tract infection from upper urinary tract infection]3. take plenty of water and fluids.. avoid: hot/spicy foods, salt,garlic,mustard oil,citrus fruits,alcohol,excess physical exertion.. take: jaggery with cold water,coconut water,amla, dates, musk melon, water melon.. a few tea spoons of baking soda diluted in cup of water, followed by atleast 2 cups of water is effective.. you may ask for prescription medicines like: tab calcury, tab/syrup cystone, chandan assav, ushir assav.
