Brief Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX yes drinking less water yesterday probably

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX yes drinking less water yesterday probably led to a little urine infection.When regular flushing out of the bladder is not there, a few bacteria in the bladder flourish and multiply, leading to infection. Do drink a lot of water(about 3L) a day, you can also drink lemon barley water readily available with chemists. It is like a sharbet and has to be diluted and taken. If these measures do not work, get your routine urine examined for infection. Regards
