Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
You can use sodium citrate or potassium citrate diluted in water. Cranberry juice is good and you can use barley water also. If not relieving with that antibiotic will be necessary. You can check for urine routine for signs of infection.
Let me know if you have any further query
