Sounds like a UTI.

It takes a good while to turn into a kidney infection my doctor says.

Drink a lot of water, and cranberry juice. Apple cider vinegar helps too.

It should be ok in the meantime, but I would highly suggest at least calling your doctor and ask what you should be doing in the meantime.

You should definitely see a doctor as soon as possible though, he can give you medication to help.

it probably won't turn into a kidney infection. just drink cranberry juice, lots of fluids, and take care of yourself.

It sounds like you do have a UTI and a uti is an infection of your bladder and kidneys, basicly your urinary tract. Drink lots of water, and try to get some cranberry juice, that will help until you can get to the doc to get an antibotic. Hope all gets better soon hon

uristat will help with the discormfort till you can see your dr.
you can buy it at wal-mart. target. wal-greens. drink lots of water.
