A member asked:

Can i eat garlic to get rid of bladder infections?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Chris Oh answered

No: Garlic is good for you but does not kill the bacteria that causes bladder infections. You need to go to doc to have urine culture done and treated with antibiotics. Cranberry juice can sometimes help prevent recurrent infections but is not enough to treat it.
