A member asked:

Bladder infection. can i take over the counter medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Bladder infections need antibiotics, and some may work better than others. Your doctor needs to see you to decide which one is best. You CAN, however, take over the counter AZO which can help the pain but this is not a cure.
