HI THANKS FOR ASKING ON HCM. First my advice to you is not take drugs on your own for any problem. UTI is not a big issue but its better to get it treated before the infection ascends which is not good. the treatment usually a course of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, nitrofurantoin.. cranberry juice has been proved to be good against UTI so u can take that on a daily basis and also drink lot of water daily. consult with your doctor for the prescription.
