Hello,
Whenever there is an infection in the urinary tract only natural ways might not work. So to treat urinary tract infection, antibiotic and natural ways both need to be followed.
You need to investigate with urine routine microscopic examination and culture for identifying causative organism and treatment accordingly with an antibiotic.
Drink lots of water and avoid excess spicy foods intake. Cranberry juice extract tablet also beneficial in such a case.
I suggest you consult Urologist for examination and detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
