Need to take Antibiotic.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Well if it is really Urine Infection he needs to take one course of Antibiotic. Home remedies can give some comfort but not cure .

I recommend you get a prescription for antibiotic like Ofloxacin or Nitrofurantoin and ask him to use it.

Till then let him drink plenty of water , Citrus fruit juice . He can also use Urine Alkanizer syrup like Citralka which are available as OTC drugs.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.
