Hello,

Welcome to iciniq.com.

I just read your query.

See UTI (urinary tract infection) may have many causes. So, to get rid of that follow the things suggested to you:

  1. Drink plenty of clear fluids as it will help in washing out the toxins produced.
  2. Do not hold urine for too long.
  3. Take syrup Neeri 10 mL twice a day with water for ten days.

If within two to three days you feel improvement in your condition then fine otherwise, go for a urine routine examination after two days. With the help of this test, you will come to know about the infection. After examination, you can visit a nearby physician. Till then, take this medicine and increase the liquid intake.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer.

For more queries, you can consult me at icliniq.com.

Follow-up after one week.

Thank you.
