Cranberry pills for UTI?

Sooo I'm pretty sure I have a UTI. I couldn't get in to the doctor today, so I had my mom pick up some Azo cranberry pills. Do these actually work?? I'm in some constant, light pain and it hurts reeeally bad when I pee (which is all.the.time.).
I'm unable to bee seen until Monday. I'm really hoping these pills help some so I don't have to drop a bunch of money on seeing the doctor (babysitter, copay, antibiotics, etc.)

Anything else I can do at home that would help?

I know cranberry juice helps, so cranberry pills prob will. It's more so for prevention, though.

They won't cure it just ease the symptoms. In the meantime flush ur body w water n straight cranberry juice. Avoid soda usually makes uti worse. I soak in an antibacterial bubble bath when I feel one coming on and that seems to help. you'll most likely need antibiotics for it though.

My father-in-law gave me some once and they helped a lot faster than drinking cranberry juice and water. I had a really bad one once (that I believed carried over into a full-on bladder infection) and I tried this alka seltzer remedy that my mom suggested. It was disgusting to try to drink alka seltzer in water, I only got like two chugs and couldn't do anymore but the relief was even quicker. I want to say almost immediate.

Cranberry pills are all I ever take for UTIs because I get them chronically and I don't like to take antibiotics. Be prepared to pee constantly for 3 or 4 hours, but after that mine are always gone. Drink water with them, it'll help flush you out.

Wait, you just drank alka seltzer and it helped? Haha

I've been drinking water even more than normal (I only drink water...usually 8/9 cups a day). I swear I've had to pee every hour today   I reeeally hope these help lol.

Yes. I didn't believe my mom's suggestion but it was so bad that I was willing to try anything and I was very pleasantly surprised. I think it's because it's alkaline based.

If I have some, I am certainly going to try it.

Cranberry works by raising the acid level of urine. This makes it harder for the bacteria to grow and live in the urinary tract.

The first time I ever took them was for a really bad bladder infection and I took 2 and within 3 hours I had no more pain. Never pissed so much in my life, though lol.

Yes those work well along with TONS of water. Like, drown yourself! Lol

They helped me a ton. I took three a day for two days but I also was drinking tons of water and cranberry juice.

Thank you all! I've been drinking water like crazy today and took one of the pills along with some aleve lol.
