It is safe to take the barley water in pregnancy.
If no relief from Taxim O then i suggest you to give urine for culture and sensitivity which will help in knowing the right antibiotic for the infection.

Hi, I took the urine culture and sensitive test. Status is still same as 10^5 as it was one month back, I never felt any pain etc one month back. But now I am feeling pain and pressure in vagina and area around it while walking. Is it due to Uti or is it normal pregnancy symptom?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Nagamani N.G (11 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Normal in pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXXXXX
It normal in pregnancy to have all these symptoms of pressure in vagina. Need not worry much. UTI is more common in pregnancy hence better to take the preventive measures to avoid further infections.
Take care.
