- 1). Take pain medications. Back and pelvic pain are common with bladder and urinary tract infections. Take an anti-inflammatory pain reliever to ease discomfort. Good choices include ibuprofen or aspirin. Follow package instructions.
- 2). Increase fluid intake. Bacterium entering the urinary tract cause infections. Drink at least eight glasses of water to flush bacteria and toxins from the urinary tract.
- 3). Purchase vitamin C supplements. Take vitamin C supplements or drink orange juice to strengthen your immune system and fight the infection. Take supplements as directed.
- 4). Experiment with cranberry supplements. Cranberries promote urinary health. Along with vitamin C, take cranberry supplements to increase your urine's acidic level and fight the infection.
- 5). Apply a heating pad. To get rid of pain and pressure naturally, apply a heating pad to the affected areas throughout the day--20 minutes on, and 20 minutes off. A warm bath also eases pressure and pain.
- 6). See a doctor. If symptoms do not improve with home remedies, make a doctor's appointment. Antibiotics generally treat a bladder infection within three to seven days.
