Hi preglies. I really don't know what to do. I always get urine infections but now being pregnant I have 1 was at docs they gave me antibiotics but I can't swallow them. I don't want to harm the baby but I don't know what else to do. Help!!
I have had many uti's. Often they will clear up if I drink plenty of water and cranberry juice and then pee every hour or so. I usually dilute the cranberry juice with 1/3 to 1/2 water. Also there are AZO tablets w cranberry that help w pain and help clear uti. (The tablets turn pee bright orange/red. Drink plenty of water and pee often every day to prevent them.
Occasionally uti's will not clear up without antibiotics. If you have to take them and have trouble swallowing, ask your doc if you can crush them or if he can give you a liquid one. Antiboitics can set you up for more uti's by killing off friendly bacteria so each day on antibiotic eat yogurt, buttermilk and something else with active cultures at least an hour or more after taking antibiotic.
Yes what they said^^^if u don't like yogurt buy some probiotics in the vitamin section. It will help keep everything balanced out when u take antibiotics and help keep uti away. Lots of cranberry juice, make sure its 100% juice. The antibiotics won't hurt baby
It's the swallowing but I can't get over the are capsules so can't be crushed I am limited to what I can take cause I am allergic to penasilin and there wad only the one he could give me. But thanks for the advise with try and see. X
