Need to see doctor: Sorry, but you'll need to find a way to get professional care for antibiotic and probalby testing to confirm UTI, maybe STD testing if at risk. A low cost community clinic may be available, or phone your local or state health department to ask about options. Health dept may also help with medical insurance sign-up or advice. In meantime, drink lots of fluids to help reduce symptoms. Good luck!

UTI treatment: Tough situation. Drink a whole bunch of fluids. Taking foods that will acidify your urine such as very large quantities of cranberry juice. Look into possible homeopathic treatments available through your local pharmacy but talk with your pharmacist first and get her/his advice also. Though are my thoughts right off the top-of-my-head.
