I woke up with a UTI, help!?!


Question: I woke up with a UTI, help!!?
I woke up this morning with a UTI!. No burning sensations when I use the bathroom or lower back pain, but the constant urge to pee with little or no results and a very uncomfortable pressure on my pelvic area!. The only place I really feel comfortable right now is sitting on the toilet, I'm not even comfortable in bed! I'm only 17 years old so I can't go to the doctors office without my mother, who is at work!. We have amoxicillin and ampicillin at the house!. Would either of these two work for killing the bacteria or do I need an in depth evaluation at the doctor!? Thank you!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I'd get a thorough evaluation as you, nor myself and a majority of people on YA are not qualified to make that decision!. Ask you're mother to take you, that's the best thing to do, you don't want to mess with your health like that, many sickness and diseases have similar symptoms, so you can never be to sure by making that judgment and saying its a UTI!. Go see a doctor, that's what they get paid for!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cranberry juice and a day or two and you'll be find you dont need to see a docter unless it doesnt go away after a weekWww@Answer-Health@Com

DO not ever diagnose yourself with antibiotics or any kind of drug ever!.
I am not sure as to why you can't go to the doctors without your mum!?!?
You need to go to the doctor and they will tell you the correct steps to correcting it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lots of water and cranberry juice!. It should clear up pretty quick!. If not get your mum to take you to the Drs as soon as possible!. Hope you feel better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok here is what you must do:
1) Take a urine sample - you must do this first in a clean pot and put in the fridge til you get to the doctors!.
2) Drink half a pint of water (warm is better) every 20 minutes for 3 hours!. With the first drink take a small glass with a level spoon of bicarbonate of soda - it will taste gross but it takes away the stinging and also makes a hostile environment for bacteria!.
4) Take 3 strong painkillers such as paracetamol - this will calm the nerve endings in the bladder
5) Put a hot water bottle on your back and wrap one in a towel put between your legs!.
6) After the 3 hours you will feel much better!.Drink on the hour now!.

You should take your sample to the docs or ring them at least they may say its ok to take amoxicillin if you have had this before!.

Don't take any medication before you see the doctor!. A urinalysis will be done and anything you take can alter the test!.
The doctor can and will see you without your mom present!. Some doctors will call the parent and get oral consent to treat!. This is easily done and most offices will glady make the call!. If they are not willing, just have your mom call them!. They will see you!.
You may be having bladder spasms also, you can try some cranberry juice to help until you can see the doctor!. This will NOT treat the infection and you still need to get the urinalysis to determine if you have an infection and what type of infection it is in order to know what antibiotic you will need!. There are different types of urinary infections, each requiring a specific type of medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
