If u do not: Have a doc , if u have a pcp or a gyn please call them, an urgent visit center would be quicker and easier.

Urgent care: An er visit is likely excessive for a bladder infection. Drink plenty of fluids and see an urgent care clinic. A history and urine analysis are all that is needed to diagnose a bladder infection.
