Treatment:
Antibiotics, usually for a minimum of 14 days and may be continued up to four weeks.
If the infection has spread to the blood or if your symptoms are hard to manage at home, you may
need to go to the hospital and get intravenous (IV) antibiotics.
– A urinary catheter is sometimes needed if you have a hard time urinating.
– You must take the complete dose of your antibiotics and not stop them as soon as your
symptoms end (if you do so, you are at a high risk of getting the infection again).
