Difficult UTI. Drinking Lot Of Water And Taken Antibiotics. What Is The Best Treatment?

Hello, I'm a 23 years old woman.
I have a very difficult UTI ( since 3 weeks) and I stopped drinking alcohol, eating chocolate and really taking care of what I eat since is really coming on and off. Its been years now and the only way of treating it while is there is antibiotics. I read that it makes it worse for next time that it will come back.. I know about drinking lots of water, cranberry and all that stuff but it keeps coming back!!
what is the best treatment for you??
Was wondering also if weed makes it worse and why. Just curious.

Hi
You should do a culture and sensitivity test and use proper antibiotics for a proper duration and should do a control test also.You can also use urine alkalinizers like potassium citrate or sodium citrate 15 ml in 1 glass water twice daily.Cranberry juice is good also.Hope this may help you.
thanks
