It turns your pee a scary orange color, but it works like a charm until the antibiotics clear it up.

The best way to kill a strong UTI is with antibiotics. I had a patient who let one go too far and was treated at home with IV antibiotics for a severe kidney infection. It can get out of control quick. Also stay away from bubble baths for the next week or so (warm baths without soap in the water is Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907221526749190399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452802329695708276.post-54694028548816276672007-11-19T12:25:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:25:00.000-05:00Hollie,Girl, take the antibiotics!

Could it be a hernia, yes. Is it, probably not. A UTI is almost as painful as a kidney stone (luckily, I don't know personally, but they say it is as close to labor pains as anybody can have), my point being, do not jump to conclusions that you have a hernia. Believe me, if you did, it should have already been detected just by touch.

Even now when Laney is so young, it's important to heed the word of the husband, so she will later in life, and so she will have the model set for listening to your word, even when she may not agree with it.

With that said, I would probably take the antibiotics for one reason - your husband requested it. <BR/><BR/>I believe that when it's all said and done, we can rest assured that we are being very pleasing to God when we honor the requests of our husbands - even in some of their more un-wise moments.
