Hi,

You seem to be having urinary tract infection - from the post that you have written. The chances that you have - blood in the urine are minimal.

For the urinary tract infection - you need to drink plenty of fluids; maintain good personal hygiene and consult your doctor for a course of antibiotic medications.

'Drugs commonly recommended for simple urinary tract infections include:

    * Amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox)
    * Nitrofurantoin (Furadantin, Macrodantin)
    * Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
    * Levofloxacin (Levaquin)
    * Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (Bactrim)'

It is best to consult yopur doctor about the best antibiotic in your specific case.

Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices and caffeine until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate.

It could be cystitis or a another type of urine infection. Does it feel like you need to urinate a lot but when you go only a little comes out and it burns? Drink plenty of water and cranberry juice,but NO orange juice as it stimulates the bladder. You should make an appointment to see your Dr as you may need antibiotics. Hope you feel better soon.
