    I personally find a half teaspoon in warm water of bicarbonate of soda helps. Twice a day

    You can often use an over-the-counter treatment like Canesten Oasis to provide you with relief whilst your body heals itself. Canesten Oasis works by quickly reducing the acidity level in the urine that make it painful to pass water. It provides fast, effective relief from the symptoms of burning pain and the need to go the toilet more frequently. Canesten Oasis can be brought from your pharmacy or grocery store. You should always read the label.

    Have you tried macrodantin or septra? I’d talk with an herbalist or even an accupuncturist that does herbal treatments. My daughter has problems with her bladder and ureters and now she is on a low dose antibiotic everyday for the next 60 years or so to ward off the infections. Have you seen a urologist? Good luck and take care.

    I have an allergy to cranberries so cannot use them but I have started drinking Chai which is tea with spices in it and my cystitis has improved.
