UTI with generalized weakness and low grade fever
-
Hi, I am 30 years old, staying in a hostel for my education. Recently I have been contracted with urinary tract infection. But I have no pain, burning sensation and micturition. Although I am feeling malaise, low grade fever along with headache. I have also lost taste and willingness to have food. Can anyone suggest me some home remedies to treat UTI?

@Sagnika While scientific research supports some at-home or natural UTI remedies, others have been a part of traditional medicine systems for thousands of years. To treat a UTI without antibiotics, people can try the following home
remedies:- Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is one of the easiest ways to help prevent and treat UTIs. Water helps the urinary tract organs remove waste from the body efficiently while retaining vital nutrients and electrolytes. Being hydrated also dilutes the urine and speeds its journey through the system, making it harder for bacteria to reach the cells that line urinary organs and to cause an infection. There is no set recommendation for how much people should drink daily, as each person’s water needs are different. On average though, people should drink at least six to eight 8-ounce (oz) glasses of water each day.
- Use probiotics: Beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, can help keep the urinary tract healthy and free from harmful bacteria. In particular, a group of probiotics called lactobacilli may help with treating and preventing UTIs. They may do this by: preventing harmful bacteria from attaching to urinary tract cells producing hydrogen peroxide in urine, which is a strong antibacterial lowering urine pH, making conditions less favorable for bacteria
