See a doctor: If you think you have a urinary tract infection, without appropriate treatment with an antibiotic the infection could worsen and result in a kidney infection or worse, a blood infection. Additionally, a different diagnosis other than a UTI may exist due to specifics of your case. Your doctor will be able to make the appropriate diagnosis and determine the best antibiotic to use.
