I am experiencing a UTI atm, I went to my local pharmacy to get something to help ease it, it was a 48 hr dose of sachets to drink and it helped it immensely, I went and drank a can of coke yesterday and now it has come back but a little worse and also have my period so wondering if those make it worse??

The soft drink will *definitely* make the symptoms of a UTI worse (it's the caffeine and carbonation - irritates the bladder). A good rule is to drink only water (I try to get in 70 ounces a day with/without a UTI) in order to continually flush the bladder.

Yes I thought because it was one that it wouldn't effect me that much but I was wrong, I drink about 2/2.5 litres of water a day also

Its worth getting your urine sample tested to see what bacteria is causing it. Many UTIs are caused by the e coli bacteria. If this is you take d-mannose to clear it. If, like me, its enterococus bacteria take four drops of oregano oil daily and it will clear up providing it hasn't progressed too far. I managed to avoid anti-biotics by doing this when I was told I had the beginnings of an enterococus UTI a few weeks ago. Hope you feel better soon.
