Oh, yes, that is mandatory while you are on the antibotics by taking some probiotic, Supplement tablets of probotics are also good to use too - but any probotics at this point is what is really needed.
You just want to remove any added sugar in your diet - even most fruit because it can contains natural alot of sugar. The antibotics can only do so much so you have to add in natural remedies as well.
ontior your progress and if symptoms still persist then of course see your doctor asap. Bleeding while you are urinating is not good, meaning something is urgently wrong. But you should give it some time and by taking those probiotics helps alot.
Prescribed antibotics remove your good and bad bacteria and you need your good to regrow to assist in removing your infection.
Also, look into Prebotics, that feeds the Probotics, good bacterias, like onions, bananas (eat half or a quarter size of a banana because its high in natural sugar but great in feeding the good bacteria), and try flax seeds..these all helps to sustain your good bac and grow it back while you are on the prescribed antibotics.
Drink some Orange Juice or take some Vitamin C, 500mg, it should be fine to what you are taking by the doctor, you can verify with the doctor office.
**But for immediate relief the baking soda and water (you can add some honey for some taste but not too much) will work immediately to get your acidity back in check, bad bacteria can not sustain there, allowing your bladder to heal and the vag area (they are all connected) and the food intake (removing sugar - even fruit - will stop feeding the bad bacteria).
The raw garlic (1-3 cloves, can cut up in small pieces on food and eat it that way with alot of water) - will get rid of the root.
The yogurt (only plain yogurt no added sugar and no fruit add in flavors) a day and/or probotics will sustain your balance of good bacteria to fight off and keep away infections. Also as you drink alot of water keep the area extra clean with water and wiping front and back. At night you could also use a tampon with plain yogurt on it for a few hours or overnight, some women freeze it first and then insert, it works wonders for the cool feeling and works fast to removing the bad bacteria that lives on the outside of the vag and inside and on the end point (the part that releases the urine from the bladder).
And when you can - try that Cranberry and Buchu, after your finish the with the antibotics, again you want to make sure everything you taking is not interfering with each other thats in capsules or tablet form. Also, the D-Mannose Power works good too, but again you can try this route after your antibotics take it course of using for certain days to try these natural remedies.
And you're welcome, hope you feel better soon...
