<human>: I have been experiencing a stinging/Burning feeling when I pee, and occasionally notice pink spots on the toilet paper. I assumed it was a UTI so Ive been drinking cranberry juice for the past two days, but the burning has not gone away. I havent had sex since the burning feeling started, 4 days ago. I cant visit a doctor due to not having health insurance. Are there any home remedies, I can use to get rid of this?
<bot>: **1. Ideally urine sample should be sent for culture- sensitivity and colony count, before initiating treatment. As soon as the result of sensitivity test is available, treatment is started [or changed, if already started] according to maximum sensitivity.2. Since you don't have health insurance, even then predisposing factors to infection like: obstruction, calculus, diabetes should be properly identified and managed/treated [for which opinion of urologist is necessary since he may distinguish lower tract infection from upper urinary tract infection]3. Take plenty of water and fluids. Avoid: hot/spicy foods, salt, garlic,mustard oil, citrus fruits, alcohol,excess physical exertion. Take: Jagger with cold water, coconut water, amla, dates, musk melon, watermelon. A few teaspoons of baking soda diluted in cup of water, followed by at least 2 cups of water is effective. You may ask for prescription medicines like: tab Calgary, tab/syrup cyst one, Chandon Assam, usher Assam.
