Follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, of course you can take the test kit at the drugstore to confirm the diagnosis.
Some foods and drinks that might irritate your bladder are:
coffee and caffeine drinks in general, spicy foods, chocolate, tomato, orange, lemons, limes and acidic drinks.
There is no scientific evidence that Tamiflu irritates the bladder, so don't worry.
I suggest you do the test kit and if it turns out to be a urinary infection, continue the treatment with antibiotics. Drink lots of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Take care.
