Hello Lybrate user, urinary tract infection is a serious disease. In such cases you should immdeatly visit a urologist and start taking suitable antibiotic. Role of cranberry in treating urinary tract infection is not scientifically proved. So don't rely only on cranberry juice, so do a urine culture, find out which is the bacteria causing infection and take suitable antibiotic. Hope this helps.

No... It will hardly be able to cure the infection... Better take proper treatment... Before it gets any worse.
