Treating UTI at home?? 6 weeks postpartum
So I’m on the 7th day of taking Macrobid 2x a day. It didn’t help or work at all. I’m allergic to penicillin, Ceclor, sulfa drugs, and Ciprofloxacin. Macrobid was something I had never used before but I could only take it cause I’m breastfeeding my one month old. I had no side effects. It did take away my fever though!
I’m going back to the urgent care tomorrow to see how bad my uti is or if it’s not as bad as before.
What are somethings that I can do at home to help?? I’m 6 weeks postpartum and my bladder was pretty much paralyzed after having a catheter and I couldn’t feel when I needed to pee so I would go hours holding it and I wouldn’t know. Now I’m gradually getting my feeling back and it’s the annoying uti constant feeling to go pee and being annoyed feeling. Also my bladder feels like it got punched.
Thanks for your tips/help!
