Hi thanks for asking question.
I can understand your concern.
Here symptoms are severe.So according to my opinion intravenous antibiotic has to be started(either in hospital or at home).Better to start with intravenous ceftriaxone infusion 1 bd for 3 to 5 days.
Then switch over to oral cefixime or cefalexin.
In between treatment mantain hydration of patient with drinking more water.
Avoid spicy food.
Drink more fruit juice.
Cranberry extract tablet can be started.
cranberry juice also effective.
Avoid smoke.
I hope this will surely benefit you.For still further concern we are ready to help you.thanks
