A member asked:

There a way to get rid of a urinary tract infection without antibiotics? what if you drink a quart an hour for 6 hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Careful !: Just over drinking water will not flush the bacteria once it's attached and causing symptoms. Over drinking water will drop your blood sodium which may cause seizures and heart failure.
