This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a UTI and cannot see my doctor until next week. And it hurts so much. Will I get kidney damage before my doctor can see me?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Simple cystitis is common in young, sexually active female. Take tablet Nitrofurantoin 100 mg at bedtime, tablet Tamsulosin 0.2 mg at bedtime. Syrup Potassium Citrate two tablespoon three times a day. Have all these for three days. Develop good voiding habits like not holding urine for long, passing urine after having sexual intercourse. Wash genital area before and after sexual activity, and passing urine.
