Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an urinary tract infection.

- Or at home urine test kit to confirm this diagnosis

Treatment consists in:
- Prescribed antibiotics if you confirm the diagnosis
- Drink plenty of water
- Keep the area clean and dry and also use cotton underwear
- Avoid foods and drinks that can irritate your bladder.

Brief Answer:
Follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Yes, of course you can take the test kit at the drugstore to confirm the diagnosis.

Some foods and drinks that might irritate your bladder are:
coffee and caffeine drinks in general, spicy foods, chocolate, tomato, orange, lemons, limes and acidic drinks.

There is no scientific evidence that Tamiflu irritates the bladder, so don't worry.

I suggest you do the test kit and if it turns out to be a urinary infection, continue the treatment with antibiotics. Drink lots of water.

Hope I have answered your query. Take care.
