What are some healthy ways to treat bladder infections?

I have had a bladder infection for a while, and I looked in a book of alternative medicine, and I followed the instructions, but I didn't have any relief. What should I do.

DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE AND WATER AND I MEAN LOTS OF IT.

Cranberry juice is good along with lots of water and .....see a doctor.

Cranberry juice.

cranberry juice or lemon and barley water

Lots of water & cranberry juice! It filters the system.

antibiotics from your doctor. no caffeine. lots of water and/or cranberry juice.

~~~I understand wanting to use alternative medicine, but if you have had a bladder infection for sometime now , you really need to see your Dr. an infection needs to be cured by antibiotics,,,also to help prevent further bladder infections,,,drink straight cranberry juice that you get from the health food store. It may not taste to great but your going to get the benifets faster than drinking "grocery store" cranberry juice, those have extra water , sugars, and so on. Straight cranberry juice is just "Cranberry Juice".

,get you butt to the clinic and just go pee for them they'll analyze it and in a couple of days They have you come back and give you a print out, i see the chances of deepening the long tern pain centers as the problem,neural synapse centers, you can over come the infection with the prescription drugs from the doctor usually on the third day of taking the pills you'll stop wanting to die. the reason to go is not to see you spend money but to protect you self from what may be something that look like a bladder infection but left untreated can lead to a kidney infection and that life threatening and my girl went through it last Christmas and 105 lb. girl go to 80 before it was over.

go to the doctor and get some med's, with out meds your infection will get worse and make you very sick and it is dangerous for your health and well being. if the infection is not cured you can have kidney shutdown and other organs can be affected, if organs shut down that will kill you...........to help with the meds it is good to drink fluids, cranberry juice and keep your system flushed and even after infection is gone it is good to drink lots of fluids so you do not get another infection............
