Taking an antibiotics  isn’t the only way to get over symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI).

1. Get Your Fill of Water    One of the first things to do when you have a urinary tract infection is drink plenty of water. That’s because drinking water can help flush away the bacteria that's causing your infection, It puts you on the right track for recovery. 

2. Load Up on Vitamin C for a Healthy Urinary Tract    Getting plenty of foods high in vitamin c is important because large amounts of vitamin C make urine more acidic. This inhibits the growth of bacteria in your urinary tract.

3.Cut Bladder Irritants From Your Diet When you have a UTI, caffeine, alcohol, spicy food, nicotine, carbonated drinks, and artificial sweeteners can irritate ur bladder further, making it harder for your body to heal. Focus on healthy foods, such as high fibre carbohydrates (such as oatmeal or lentil soup), that are good for your digestive health.

5. Go Ahead, Empty Your Bladder Again Every time you empty your bladder — even if it’s just a small amount — you rid it of some of the bacteria causing the infection. Keep making those bathroom runs, advises Rivers.

6. Change to Healthier Habits  

  • Wear loose cotton clothing and underwear.
  • Wipe yourself clean from front to back.
  • Choose only fragrance-free personal hygiene products.
