UTI's

Carlie
So I'm very prone to getting UTI's and I hate them! They always avoid my bladder and go straight to my kidneys !! It usually takes me a few days to notice it. But I knew I had one yesterday so I started chugging water. And it still hurts. So any advice to make it go away before it gets too bad that I need a doctor. I know when that point will be. I got the azo pain relieve pills but I'm waiting to take them just yet. Anything yall recommend ?
