is there a drug for urinary tract infection like E. coli ?

I agree with above.  There should be a sensitivity to  medications to bacteria that were present in your last sample...presumably your doctor has that information and selected the antibiotic accordingly.  If you continue to have symptoms then you should have a follow-up urinalysis to verify that you are free of an on-going infection.  If you are clear then there is an entity called "interstitial cystitis"  Essentially an inflammatory process where the patient feels like there is an infection but none exists.  There are analgesics effective for the urethra...discuss it with your medical provider.

Corn silk tea is good. My mother in law said she cured her uti by drinking it.

Most Bladder infections are due to ecoli. The close proximety of the vagina and anus, as well as sexual activities makes it very easy to get this type of bladder infections. What helps most, if you are female, wipe from front to back to direct feces away from the vagina. Never have anal intercourse followed by vaginal intercourse. Always urinate after intercourse.and sometimes those germs just make there anyway. Drink lots of fluids, water is best, cranberry juice / sauce or mixed in anyway changes the ph of your urine to discourage bacterial growth. And stear clear of bubble baths and scented soaps as they irritate the urethra. The reason the doctor changed your antibiotic is to be able to be specificaly able to kill out the ecoli bacteria.  All antibiotics are specific to different germs, so one is better than another in certain cases.

take cranberry pills and drink lots of water it helps clean out your urinary track or you can drink about fifteen to tweety beers and pee it out that way too. but the pills are the key it worked for me.

Urinary tract infections usually show improvement with in the first 48 hours of being on the meds. If you are still having pain or it gets worse contact your Dr. immediately. Lots of fresh water will help you over come it faster. Yes you will pee a lot but that's the idea, to flush out your system. the medication may change the color of your urine, don't let that scare you its supposed to do that. Your Dr. Even if it took a little while to get your meds, you would have had much earlier symptoms that would have brought you back to the ER, like pain, crystals in the urine blood in the urin....ext. But like I said get to a Dr. if your pain has not decrease or if it gets worse while on the meds.

Really you should go to the doctor.  These infections can lead to loss of a kidney.  However, if you are having reoccurring infections you need to make sure to drink plenty of water in the AM especially and then throughout the day.  Also, cut out sugar and alcohol as these 'feed' the bacteria (both the good and bad).  \n\nDrinking a small glass of pure cranberry juice (with no sugar, yes it tastes awful) helps to keep the bladder environment acidic, helping to kill off the bacteria.  Finally, you need to encourage the good bacteria to grow and replace the bacteria.  You can do this by eating yogurt or other foods with 'live cultures' or get live bacteria pills from a vitamin store.  If you get the live bacteria pills make sure they are refrigerated or you'll get sick.

The most common cause of UTI are bacteria from the bowel that live on the skin near the rectum or in the vagina which can spread and enter the urinary tract through the urethra. \n\nOnce these bacteria enter the urethra they travel upwards causing infection in the bladder and sometimes other parts of the urinary tract. \n\nSexual intercourse is a common cause of urinary tract infections because the female anatomy can make women more prone to urinary tract infections. During sexual intercourse bacteria in the vaginal area is sometimes massaged into the urethra by the motion of the penis.\n\nAnother cause of bladder infections or UTI is waiting too long to urinate. The bladder is a muscle that stretches to hold urine and contracts when the urine is released. Waiting very long past the time you first feel the need to urinate causes the bladder to stretch beyond its capacity which over time can weaken the bladder muscle. When the bladder is weakened it may not empty completely and some urine is left in the bladder which may increase the risk of urinary tract infection or bladder infection. \n\nAntibiotics cure typical bladder infections. Drinking cranberry juice or taking cranberry pills can reduce your chances of getting a bladder infection or help cure it if you already have one.

yogurt helps bladder infections because it has good bacteria. that good bacteria eats away the bad bacteria. however if you have a bladder infection, it is always best to drink water to flush it out. also drink cranberry juice as it does work because of its acids. bacteria can't live in acidic places. you can also try cranberry pills which also work well. probiotics do not cause bladder infections but if you are on some antibiotic, it might work against it. seek advice from your doctor.

Cranberries are so good for urinary tract infections.  They have ingredients that incapsulate the bacteria so it cannot attach and multiply, and so that you can easily urinate the bacteria out.\n\nAny form will do - cranberry pills, cranberry juice (try and find something with as little sugar as possible), or just plain cranberries.\n\nUp your water intake so that you are peein like a mad man!  Once the pain goes away, continue with the cranberry/water regimen for a few more days.\n\nAnd please, look into some more flexible health insurance, I'd hate for you to get the flu or something and not be able to get a doctor's appointment. :(

Did you try the AZO pain reliever? It gets rid of the pain when you have cystitis, urinary tract infections, etc. It always works. You don;t need the prescription for it , and can get it at the medicine section in a store.\nHere the link www.azoproducts.com/\n\nYou still need to see a doctor and continue your antibiotics, but this one will at least help you to stop the pain.\n\nThere is AZO-Cranberry also.

I have the same problem. I am going to see a Urologist as this has been going on for years. Your Gyno should be your first stop, and I'm sure you do all the instructions from them-( wiping from front to back, urinating after sex, drinking cranberry juice or pills, drinking lots of water and in my case taking an anti biotic after sex). I would say it is time to see a kidney specialist as UTI's are so miserable, and sounds like you have reached tolerance to many antibiotics.

That has nothing to do with it. You have a Urinary Tract Infection. See your doctor for antibiotics. I also suggest you drink a whole lot of water and or cranberry juice to help flush things out. Avoid caffeine for a day while you do this.

I agree with the person who suggested Uristat.  It helps with the pain and makes you not need to pee as often.  Just don't worry that your pee will be bright orange.  However, you may need antibiotics to help your body fight off the infection.  If it doesn't seem to be getting better soon, see a doctor.\n\nWhen I first had symptoms of a UTI, I drank as much water as I possibly could.  I read that it helps flush the bacteria out of your urinary tract.  I don't know if that's true, but it did help me get over my UTI in just a few days.

Actually, no food will "clear up" a UTI. A UTI is a bacterial infection and must be treated by a physician with anitbiotics. If you do not seek treatment by a physician the UTI can travel up into the kidneys and result in a very painful and sometimes lethal kidney infection. Cranberry juice can PREVENT a UTI by helping the urinary tract resist bacteria that is attempting to adhere to the urinary tract.

Since you have diabetes, I would suggest cranberry capsules, which have virtually all the sugar processed out of the cranberry but leave the good properties.  Drink a lot of water to help flush out your kidneys.  Chamommile tea seems to help as well, as does green tea.  Since they are light diuretics, they can get your kidneys working a little overtime to flush out the infection a little quicker.  Something I've found useful as well is to take an Airborne tablet every day while you're trying to get rid of the infection to help boost your body's immune system (I plop on in a cup of hot chamommile tea).  Be careful when bathing as well to use a very gentle soap, one without glycerine as glycerine can irritate the sensitive tissues down there (you don't want a UTI in addition to the kidney infection).

First of all, your symptoms sound much more severe than a those associated with UTI (urinary tract infection).  Go see a doctor.  In the future, these things can help prevent UTIs: urinating after intercourse and drinking a little cranberry juice every other day or so.  Both things help flush the infectious bacteria out of your system.  Good luck.
