can you tell me how i could cure my uti without antibiotics?

Question

How long does it take antibiotics to cure a uti?

Answer 1

Not easy: A real UTI especially if documented by culture generally requires antibiotic. If it keeps recurring then you need a complete urological workup by a urologist.

Answer 2

Usually need: an antibiotic to clear up an infection so see your doctor.

Answer 3

Antibiotics: A UTI documented with a positive culture usually requires antibiotics.You should discuss it with your primary care physician.

Answer 4

Yes: The old use of cranberry has been shown to be effective in some cases. D-mannose can also be very useful. In addition, there are a number of herbal remedies that combine several agents, such as akebia moist heat from health concerns.

Answer 5

Not that work: Alternative cures are a myth. Antibiotics are effective with very few side effects. Drinking plenty of water plus urinating every couple of hours can enhance antibiotic effect. Neither probiotics nor cranberry juice, extract, cocktail or capsules have been shown effective in curing utis. Claims that such supplements are effective are bogus.

Answer 6

There are many: There are a variety of antibiotics that treat urinary tract infections (uti). These include bactrim, macrobid, Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and others.

Answer 7

Depends: There are many different antibiotics that can be used to treat a uti. The most common ones are penicillins and cephalosporins. Depending on the physician, they may have a drug they prefer to prescribe. Once the lab has discovered what organism is causing the infection, there may be a certain antibiotic that will more specifically get rid of the infection.

Answer 8

Many Different Ones: Most commonly: Macrodantin (nitrofurantoin macrocrystals), Bactrim or septra (trimethoprim/sulfa) or Cipro (ciprofloxacin). Less often: amoxicillin, augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) suprax, keflex, cefepime, omnipen, gentamicin. A number of others are used if the bacteria are resistant to the all of the above.

Answer 9

Possible: If the UTI is attacked head on with forced fluids and you have a good immune response, it is possible to flush out the bactreia in the bladder and the body wins the battle. I would not count on this. If you have burning, pain, frequency of urination, need to go immediately, and cerainly if fever, back pain, nausea, chills or vomiting, get seen right away for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Answer 10

Possibly eventually: Not worth waiting it could take forever, ie may never clear up. Most utis eventually cleared up in the preantibiotic era, but some didn't. Please see your dr. Or nurse prcationer and get a prescription. Bactrim, Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and generic Nitrofurantoin macrocrystals are all fairly inexpensive, especially at walmart. Good luck.

Answer 11

Macrobid: This antibiotic is used quite commonly for treating Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). The doctor should have a culture report that shows what antibiotics will work against the bacteria found in the urine. Sometimes a patient's allergies or the bacteria's resistance causes the doctor to choose a certain antibiotic. I've seen many patients get better on Microbid (nitrofurantoin). See doc if no better

Answer 12

Bladder infections: Good morning i would advise you that there is little for uti's other than antibiotics. I am sure you are hydrating well and taking cranberry juice already? But, the sooner you get this treated the sooner you will feel better.

Answer 13

Antibiotics: The only proven cure for a bacterial urinary tract infection is antibiotics

Answer 14

Not very sensible: You need antibiotics to kill bacteria causing your uti. Drinking lots of water and urinating frequently will help. No scientifically controlled trial has ever shown that utis are eliminated or cured without antibiotics. Please get a prescription from your dr or nurse practitioner. Often a 3 - 5 day course will clear up an acute uti.

Answer 15

Acidifiy your urine: Try cranberry juscie three time daily. 4oz
