It's possible that a straightforward urinary tract infection (UTI) may clear up on its own without any treatment. However, it's usually best to treat a UTI with an antibiotic, or it could spread to the kidneys and lead to more serious problems.

Once treated, there are steps you can take to stop UTIs coming back: do not use perfumed bubble bath, soap or talcum powder around your genitals - use plain, unperfumed products, and have a shower rather than a bath go to the toilet as soon as you need to pee and always empty your bladder fully stay well hydrated - aim to drink 6 to 8 glasses of fluid a day (water, lower-fat milk and sugar-free drinks, including tea and coffee, all count) wipe your bottom from front to back when you go to the toilet empty your bladder as soon as possible after having sex do not use a contraceptive diaphragm or condoms with spermicidal lubricant on them - use another type of contraception instead wear underwear made from cotton, rather than synthetic material like nylon, and avoid tight jeans and trousers.

Although they won't do any harm, there's little evidence to show drinking cranberry juice or taking cranberry supplements helps treat or prevent UTIs.

For Bacterial Infection: “Developed a pain in mouth last Tues Couldn’t sleep with pain so dibilitating Also had tenderness in lower gums Went to Dr and he put me on 875 ea of Amox 2 per day It’s now Saturday and pain almost

minimal

I have had progressively bad back for 23 years due to epidural.

Led to me not able to walk more than 9 paces without serious pain where if I don't sit down my legs will go from under me. I went shopping with my husband today and for the first time in 3 years I walked around, not one, but two 2 supermarkets instead of sitting in the car as I have done for 3 years. MRI scan INDICATED the only thing LEFT is an operation which could make better or worse. What is in this Amoxicillin that Has given me my body back?

I have never felt so well - 20 years younger in fact. I hope when I finish course I don't get the pain back and can continue to walk.

I took the Amoxicillin 500mg 2X/day for 8 days and had to stop.

It seemed to stop my UTI (first one ever and I have been on catheters for 2 years) but I didn't expect the side effects of rapid heart rate all the time, anxiety from low grade to intense most of the time, it made me feel weak and nauseous, guts in turmoil, eating anything made it worse, so I had to stop.

I had no idea this drug had those side effects for many! AVOID!” Apo-Amoxi (amoxicillin) for Bladder Infection: “I had a very complicated and terrible UTI which was hard to get rid of. Tried apo-amoxicillin in hope for it to clear all the bacteria and end these constant symptoms.

HOWEVER this drug did absolute nothing in helping me UTI, I noticed no improvement at all. I got no major side affects except for a mild headache.

Now I have been switched to keflex which is way better.” For Bacterial Infection: “Had agonising pain from a suspected abscess from wisdom tooth. Was prescribed amoxicillin to be takes 3 times a day. I am now on day 3 and the pain is even worse than it was yesterday. By the looks of it I’m going to have to have the tooth extracted urgently.” For Bacterial Infection: “Had a nasty tooth infection from an untreated wisdom tooth and felt like it was going to be the end of me.

Didn’t handle the infection in time, had nausea, abdominal pain, the works.

Amazing stuff!” For Dental Abscess: “Terrible pain and huge abscess and the drug didn’t help even 1%, just no help at all. I am in 4th day ( 3 X a day) and pain and abscess continue.

I am scheduled appointment with surgeon tomorrow, but amoxicillin didn’t help !” For Dental Abscess: “24 hours and the pain is gone.

Amoxicillin worked for me.” For Dental Abscess: “amoxicillin got rid of my molar root infection after day 3” For Dental Abscess: “Had an infection on a back molar and was prescribed amoxicillin because of the pandemic.

I was on other pain relievers alongside this and the infection was gone within 4 days and no pain at all. But I’m here now a few weeks later (maybe a month) and the toothache is back, will call dentist to see if I have to take another course of it but it worked for the time I took it.” For Tonsillitis/Pharyngitis: “Amoxicillin 500mg every 8 hours makes my strep throat gone.

Today is the 3rd day of my medication and I feel so normal. I felt a little bit dizziness because of the side effect of the med but its normal. ” For Dental Abscess: “Took amoxicillin for a dental abscess.

Worked to lessen the infection but day 3 woke up COVERED in horrible, raised, angry, red welts/hives all over my arms. This is apparently a common side effect and not necessarily a true allergy, but there doesn't seem to be a way to differentiate outside a skin test.

Just in case my dentist switched me to clindamycin. For my purposes, I'm calling it an allergy going forward because it's too scary to risk.” For Bacterial Infection: “I was given Amoxicillin 500mg 3x daily for 7 days due to an infection. By the second, I started getting flu-like symptoms.

Finally, on the sixth/seventh, that's when I noticed it had gotten rid of those nasty bacteria, and was my normal self again. Glad I was able to see it through, despite the side effects.” For Urinary Tract Infection: “I’ve taken Amoxicillin many times for a UTI.

It gives me a good amount of relief within 6-8 hours. The burning sensation and the bladder spasms usually subside within that time frame. I don’t experience many side effects except for occasional mild nausea and an annoying yeast infection.

I’ve also taken this for tonsil issues and it helps tremendously.
