Please: let your parents know about your possible urinary tract infection. Antibiotics are the tx and you will need a prescription from your doctor for this. Home remedies won't cure an UTI.

No: You need a prescription to get antibiotics in the United States. Few home remedies are to drink enough water,wear cotton underwear and pants so your skin can breathe, urinate often and don,t hold your urine to prevent bacteria from multiplying,and drinking cranberry juice wont hurt except if you are allergic to this. If you think you have Urinary Tract Infection see a doctor for treatment.
