Treat appropriately.: Bladder infections are caused by bacteria which need to be treated by an appropriate antibiotic. First, see you physician and provide a urine sample for urinalysis and culture. This will confirm that you have an actual infection, then provide the doctor with the antibiotic that will clear the infection. Drink plenty of fluids, void frequently. Take the medication exactly as directed.

Antibiotics: Urinary tract infections are simply treated with a short course of antibiotics such as Nitrofurantoin and Trimethaprim-sulfamethoxazole. Its also helpful to drink lots of water and cranberry juice.
