What home remedies can i use to cure a bladder infection? i'm also taking leftover antibiotics from sinusitis (amoxicillin), is that okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not, however: Bladder infections are generally from a particular type of bacteria which may not be susceptible to amoxicillin. As far as home remedies are concerned, cranberry juice has been used for years for this condition but it should not be used as a substitute for antibiotic therapy. See you physician always before starting any therapies (especially expired amoxicillin).
