A member asked:

Is there a way to completely get rid of a uti if you're a teen and your family can not afford antibiotics prescribed by the doctor? any home remedies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No home remedies: You need the antibiotic to clear it. If the antibiotic is too expensive call your doctor and see if there is a cheaper option.

I have UTI. Doc prescribed Cefdinir. Its 300 mg once a day for five days. I am 4 foot 3 inches and 60 pounds. Should that be enough to help? I get GI issues with many antibiotics so assume its based on my weight and all. Thank you?

After meeting with the Doc on this application. Can I get prescribed an antibiotic for my UTI, and possible kidney infection, for 2 months or longer? I know I need a longer term antibiotic because it comes right back once I complete my 3day- 2wks?
