At home treatment

    1. Apply heat pack to bladder or pubic area to temporarily help relieve pain and discomfort.
  4. Clothing
    1. Loose fitted clothing can prevent moisture from making the infection worse.

Other foods may help out.

High fiber foods may help to quicken recovery. Getting a range of essential nutrients is also important to allow the body to heal itself.

Vitamin C can inhibit the growth of bacteria in the urinary tract since it makes urine more acidic. Although it is usually advised that vitamin C intake be increased via a varied diet, supplements may be recommended.
