Brief Answer:
See a doctor at her earliest

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern. Yes, it sure sounds like a urinary tract infection but the blood in urine may indicate something more than just a UTI. So I recommend you see a doctor at your earliest convenience for further investigation. You cannot flush an infection out. You need antibiotics to treat an infection, but first, you need to do a urine test to determine infection.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions, but I rather urge you to go to the hospital.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
