A member asked:

I am currently in recovery of a urinary tract infection. i drank some cranberry juice and felt a slight burning sensation in my side. is this normal?

Dr. Veeraish Chauhan answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Unrelated: The burning is more likely infection related and has nothing to do with the juice. Drink water, about 64 ozs a day to keep high urine flow rates. Cranberry juice purportedly helps but this has not been shown to be superior to antibiotics in medical studies.
