I get probably 8-10 a year. My dr. sent me to a specialist who said there was nothing they could do except treat them when I got them. I drink cranberry juice, but it makes me pretty sick to my stomach. I hate taking antibiotics, but what else can i do?

Are you drinking enough water?  Sometimes not drinking enough fluids - juice, water, whatever - can cause bladder infections.  I used to have the same problem, but I started making sure I was drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day, and it really did help.  And I didn't have to drink cranberry all the time too.  Also eating yogurt and some cheeses helps put good bacteria into your system which helps fight infection.  Prevention magazine has some good articles you may want to check out.

Agree with person above, you should get an appointment just to get them checked out, especially if you are on any medication.\n\nIn addition, maybe you are lacking something in your diet.

take some LACTOBACILLUS powder supplement. drink lots of water. consult a Doctor if u get bloody diarrhoea.\n\nIt will help restoring the good bacterial flora inside your gastrointestinal tract.

You should go to the hospital if the doctors office is closed don't let it get to bad! The longer you wait the worse it will get but you can try gargleing with salt warm water it helps kill off the bacteria! And you also can try some hot herbal teas! I hope you get this taken care of very soon!

drinking tons of water can help. also drinking cranberry juice helps tons! Cran-grape juice is much better tasting than cranberry in my opinion...

Your like me, you have a sensive stomach.  That is why I always take pills if I can.  Call your doc and ask rather or not you can take a pill or a natural laxitive that will help you clena out your system.  I don't know when the procedure is, but if you have a while just start eating a lot of fresh fruit and veggies.  Go on a fruit and veggie fast and water...nothing else.  You should start to see reults pretty soon.  If you need somthing faster thatn that, there are tons of supplements that come in pill versions.  They just might not work as quickly as the liquid.  I hope this helps...

another old wives tale resurfaces.\n\nFact is both are viral infections and are best dealt with by lots of bed rest, keeping really warm (yep the "sweat it out" thing does help a lot) and drink lots of fluids.  Whether you eat or not is more to do with your degree of nausea at the time.  However, for any illness (other than digestive tract ones) you do need to keep up your strength to fight it off so eating is always good if you can keep it down.\n\nAlso, while modern medicine has not come up with a cure for the common cold or the flu, there are some natural remedies that might help you. One of course is vitamins in proper doses in case you are not getting lots via  food. Another one I discovered was garlic and cayenne capsules which might help boost your immune system and raise body temperature. And if all else fails, there  is always chicken noodle soup; and grandma was right - it does make you feel better.

I deal a lot with people with gallstones and to be honest with you I've never heard of the connection.  If you are on antibiotics they might be making you itch and whatnot.

Oh, I know! I'm almost 27 frigging years old and STILL have to chew up my pills. I recently had to start taking Prevacid for acid reflux disease and I have to open it up, put the medicine in a cup (which look like teeny tiny white marbles BTW), put it in my mouth, and drink water with it. Although I remember to give my daughter her meds every day... me on the other hand.... take three meds in the a.m. and two meds in the p.m., I cannot remember to take them for the life of me!

Urinary Tract Infection - Drink cranberry juice and get some OTC meds and see a doctor if the problem persists

Number one, with the diarrhea, I hope you are drinking a lot of water to replace what you are losing!\n\nNumber 2, you should have seen the doctor that prescribed it about this - he could have changed the antibiotic to something else.  Gastrointestinal symptoms are a common side effect of antibiotics, but this is not good.\n\nNumber 3, strep is a real pain to get rid of, and your particular strain would seem to be a bit resistant to amoxicillin.  Maybe...ianad [i am not a doctor].\n\nNumber 4, the doctor might merely have you take less of it but more frequently - that has worked for me in the past with overcoming GI symptoms, but the doctor should be the one who decides this.

WHAT DOES YOUR DR. SAY. PEOPLE I KNOW SAY YOU HAVE TO TAKE MEDS FOREVER FOR THIS. TRY SOME OTHER THINGS FROM THE HEALTH FOOD STORE OR THE NATURAL STORES. GOOD LUCK.

It sounds like you have a yeast infection which is often caused by your antibiotics throwing off the balance in your vagina.  Go to the grocery store and buy some Monistat.  It will give you relief in one day.

Stop taking the throat losanges.  They may make you feel good now, but they tend to dry out the throat and make the problem worse.  They definately don't seem to be curing you of anything.  \n\nIf it keeps bothering you, go back to the doctor; you may have something besides strep throat, which would be the only thing antibiotics would work on.
