Go to the store and get yourself some AZO Standard. It doesn't heal a UTI but it eases the symptoms - will take away the burn and the urge to go when you don't really need to. Even if you feel really crummy and don't want to get out, do it anyway!! This stuff will help you feel better in the long run.
FYI, the medicine turns your urine a freaky orange color, so don't be alarmed. And I'm not sure if it's a symptom of the infection or caused by the medication itself, but there was a bit of leakage involved for me. Not huge amounts, but I noticed orange spots on the undies.
In the meantime, drink as much clear fluid as you can take and cranberry juice is good too. But I suggest getting the AZO first as drinking more means going more and you don't want to be feeling the burn!
