A member asked:
When having a uti possible cystitis should you drink acidic or alkaline liquids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drink water: In general the kidneys will create an acidic environment regardless of what you drink. Some kinds of infections however classically turn urine more basic/alkaline. Hydrating with water can help as being dehydrated will often aggravate kidney conditions. If having prolonged UTI symptoms or you get sicker, you may need an antibiotic.
