She needs to go see a doctor because it will get worse and lead to a kidney infection. In the meantime, drink cranberry juice or buy cranberry pills and you can buy over the counter medicine for these infections, but even when those make her feel better she still will have the infection and they do NOT cure a urinary infection. Please tell her to go to the doctor.

Cystex's active ingredient is Methenamine, which is a type of salt. It is meant to treat urinary tract infections, so it should work for that so long as you make sure she takes it for about two days beyond when she stops showing any sypmtoms. I've used Amoxicillin (antibiotic) and it definitely works.

Make sure she gets lots of water, does not eat much sugar (sugar feeds infections), tell her to sit up on the toilet when she pees because it's important that her bladder completely empties, and tell her to take a hot shower and try to relax (really warm water can help relax tension and may help in getting some discharge out).

Staying hydrated is /very/ important.

If it is at all possible, try to get her to a doctor.

The only way to cure the infection is to take antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. Some OTC medications can help reduce symptoms, but they will NOT CURE the infection. She needs to see a doctor ASAP. Left untreated, the infection will spread and cause kidney damage and other serious problems.
