You really need to drink more water than normal during a UTI attack - and 16 to 24 ounces per day of cranberry juice or the equivalent in capsule form. Cranberries have an astringent effect against infection. Other great natural astringents which are also diuretics are dandelion and horsetail. Infuse them with hot water and drink as much as possible.If your back pain doesn't ease after 48 hours or if you gets the chills then you might need some antibiotics. I, too, like the thread started am against using antibiotics too much as the infections do become immune to them (also they can cause other problems) but don't let an infection get too strong a hold on you.
