Crayon berry juice and vitamin C tablets will acidify your urine and help fight off the infection
You can drink 100% cranberry juice to relieve the pain but that won't cure it. You have to get antibiotics from a doctor to be completely cured. You need to do it soon before your infection worsens and it becomes a kidney infection too. That's far worse and much more painful. Good luck!
Krissy is wrong. You do not need antibiotics to cure it completely. However, I would suggest getting them seeing that you have left it untreated for a whole week. However, in the future when you feel one coming on just drink lots of water and 100% cranberry juice and take 2 cranberry pills(can be found in the vitamin section at the store) twice a day until it goes away. I am prone to them and have had them a lot. Also, there are a couple of steps you can take to prevent them as well. They are, pee before sexual intercourse and pee after sexual intercourse. That way you are getting rid of any bacteria that may be in your urethra.
