At-home remedies to treat urinary tract infection (UTI) (without antibiotics) - Times of India

Antibiotics are the best treatment option for those who have a severe urinary tract infection. However, if your symptoms are mild, consult with your doctor and ask whether you can get it treated at home, without any antibiotics.

Although antibiotics help treat the bacterial infection, they can cause side effects, as per the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Side effects can include rash, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and yeast infections, notes the health agency.

Furthermore, there is always the risk of antibiotic resistant UTI, a type of infection that does not respond to most – or any – of the most common treatments.

That said, resort to these at-home treatments for UTI.
