bladder infections...can be cured as fast... by drinking lots of water...that is what my doctor told me....you drink until you slosh. and rinse out the bacteria.... no meds needed.... drinking water is the last thing you want to do...but it works.
aren't we all drinking lots of water? seems to me that something else might be wrong too.
good luck to your friend.....I wish her health ....maybe she should try for a secound opinion?
