    The best home treatment for a bladder infection is preventing one. Cranberry juice isn't a cure, it's only to keep the bladder healthy and to fight bacterial infections. Once you already have a bladder infection only an antibiotic such as Cipro or Amoxicillin will cure it. A bladder infection is nothing to fool around with. Your infection could become worse and spread into the ureters and kidneys.

    Go see your doctor and get an antibiotic to treat it. Read the information on this link, it will give you all the information you could ever want regarding urinary tract infections.

    Cranberry juice helps but you need proper treatment. I agree with everyone else you should see your doc for antibiotics to speed recovery and the pain you experiencing. Hope you get better!
