A member asked:
If i had a bladder infection for a week can i still flush it out with drinking more liquid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UTI for a week: If you have had a UTI for a week, "flushing" it out does not appear to be working. Go to a physician and get our urine cultured and get started on the appropriate antibiotic. Good luck.
