What are some good cures for a urinary tract infection?I have a urinary tract infection and I have had it for a lil over a week. I saw a doctor and I took the antibiotics and drank lots of water and cranberry juice. It still hasn't gone away. I have tried drinking tons of water, drinking cranberry juice, and antibiotics. What else can I do to cure it?

sounds like the antibiotics weren't effective for your specific bacterial infection... I would get back to the doc for a different script.

if you drink cranberry juice make sure that you are drinking 100% because if its not then it won't work or if you don't like it cuz it kinda bitter just mix it with a little water.

You need to return to your physician for another UA and possibly another course of antibiotics. Sometimes it takes two courses of an antibiotic, or a course of a stronger, different antibiotic, to clear up a UA.
Cranberry juice is used to prevent UTIs, not treat them. It supposedly prevents bacteria from "sticking" to the bladder and other parts of the urinary system. It does not "wash out" bacteria and it doesn't kill bacteria. (It is a good healthy drink, though; I drink cranberry/pomegranate juice to help prevent UTIs.)
