UTI is a Urinary Tract Infection, and that kind of infection does not go away with cranberry juice because cranberry juice is not an antibiotic, it's just a cleansing liquid, so it does help a bit but it won't kill the bacteria. If you drink it now you are going to feel OK for now but soon the symptoms are gonna come back and you are going to feel even worse because the infection when it's not taken care fast advances up to your kidneys.
Cranberry juice might alleviate the symptoms but you need something to kill the bacteria for good. Go to your doc and see how bad the infection is and take it from there.
I've always heard cranberry juice will help prevent UTI's but not necessarily cure them. I have had many UTI's and I've always had to get antibiotics.
cranberry juice can help with the acidity of the urine and help with the pain and some symptoms of the UTI, yet you still need antibiotics so it will not get worse.
you can also try cranberry tablets sold in the vitamin section of your pharmacy. follow the directions on the bottle
