Uti symptoms so home treatment was cranberry juice+ponstan forte, but painful urination+cloudy urine remain. had unprotected sex. solution?
May 14, 2015

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
An episode of UTI (urinary tract infection) is caused by some bacteria, so it cannot be treated with hydration, cranberry juice and a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug; this is the conservative management of minor kidney stones or sludge and serve as adjunct treatment in cases of UTI. A bacterial infection requires treatment with an antibiotic. To decide on the appropriate antibiotic, a culture of the affected area or fluid must be taken in order to identify the infection causing bacteria. In this case, since you engaged in unprotected sexual intercourse, a culture of the urine and vaginal swab are needed.
