No other remedy: Hi Meagen, I certainly understand your concern over the cost of medical care without insurance. I must say, however, that kidney infections can lead to quite serious immediate and long term conditions if not treated appropriately. The longer you wait, the more expensive treatment will be. Many generic antibiotics are inexpensive, and your doc may have samples or coupons. Ask for a payment plan

Clinic: Hi,try to find a local health dept clinic. If you can't find 1 in your area,some doctor's office may see you with very discounted rate or even free if the doctor is one of some who do that.I don't know if you are referring to cystitis(frequency,burning,urgency)as a "kidney infen".If so,some pharmacies give meds.like amoxicillin free but u must have prescripn,increase fluids,buy AZO OTC.Best wishes

You need antibiotics: some good antibiotics (like Cipro) can be bought at Walmart for 4 dollars
