UTI? BLADDER OR KIDNEY INFECTION?

Question

So this is a bit off buttt.. My mom has had some kind of bladder infection for over a month, she's had occasional bleeding constant urination and burning, her bladder always feels full but hardly anything comes out, occasionally cloudy urine but usually clear. She does not have insurance so she can't see a doctor or go to the emergency room. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this and or knows how to get rid of it she's tried AZO and drinks alot of water.     
( Sorry if this is in the wrong group.)

Answer

She NEEDS antibiotics and unfortunately those can only come from a doctor. UTIs are very serious. A bladder infection is one type of a UTI and it can become a kidney infection, like any kind of UTI. Kidney infections are deadly if left untreated. They kill your kidneys so that you end up needing dialysis and a kidney transplant to live. 
Your mum needs to see a doctor. If this has been going on for a while now then it's very likely it already has or soon will spread to her kidneys. Seeing a doctor and getting antibiotics might be expensive, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the alternative and will save her life. Never leave a UTI alone, it needs to be treated.

Answer

Nope she needs antibiotics.

Answer

Antibiotic and stay hydrate

Answer

not getting treated will cause her kidneys to shut down

Answer

she needs to go to a doctor and get antibiotics, I had a bad bladder infection years ago that made me go to the er because I was urinating blood, I had to get a shot in my butt to stop my bladder from being spasmodic and get on antibiotics, don't let that get worse, nobody can really afford er visits. I know I couldn't but they can work out a payment schedule with you on what you can afford to pay

Answer

she needs antibiotics but cranberry pills and cranberry juice in the meantime will alleviate symptoms depending on how bad it is.

Answer

Try Health group too or even general pregnancy group for more feedback

Answer

I know it sucks not to have insurance but she needs to go to the ER immediately. That can’t turn you away for any reason. I just had a kidney infection and was admitted for 3 days on IV antibiotics every 8 hours. When it gets to that point, it gets serious and can actually kill you. Ask for a payment plan and explain her lack of insurance. If they are anything like the hospitals where I live, they will help you.

Answer

Azo will mask the symptoms!! And it’ll travel to the kidneys.

Answer

She has to get an antibiotic😔 it will go to her kidney and tat will probably require a very expensive er visit. AZO only helps with the symptoms but won’t kill the bacteria. Free clinic or urgent care?
