What is alternative for UTI treatment vs antibiotic?
Already had 2 doses of antibiotic for abcess in front gums of teeth
and after that, top that with 2 doses of sulfamethoxazole-TMP DS IN 17 days apart. Still abcess present in gums. Called my DR. and they advised me to drink lots of water and if it continues to be painful,
go to ER hospital. Third time happen on weekend plus Memorial Day holiday before I get to talk to Dr. again. Any suggestions out there?
I am drinking more than 50 ounces of liquid. Cranberry juice and hot water for 2 days. Pain is gone for now. Do I go to Dr. Tuesday if available for testings?

I was able to catch a UTI at the beginning end, and could stop it with tons of cranberry juice, but I am really not sure if it was he juice, or if my immune system did the job.

Yes, they can go away on their own. I suppose when you are in a nursing home and less active and in control of your cranberry juice that is not likely. Regards.
