Knowlege check: A patient with no healthcare seeks advice about a urinary tract infection. The patient cannot afford treatment, what do you recommend to the patient? Is there anything you would recommend besides medicine to help get rid of it?

Yeah, I bet the mods will close this within 2hrs. (b/c to closley to giving Med. advice, a big no-no on SDN)
anyway to the topic, don't know yet, should have posted in Med student forum at least, If you have a question about objects on a inclined plain or Standing waves I can help 🙂

i'm sure there's more than one answer to this question. i dunno; i guess if i was put in that situation i'd suggest my patient get the generic version of whatever she needs to take to get rid of the infection (i'm assuming an anti-biotic?) Target and other big pharmacies often offer $4 one-month supplies of many generic drugs, esp. things like penicillin.

Going to see a physician.

most of the antibiotics needed are on the Walmart $4 list.

The patient should see a doctor and not seek advice on an internet message board.

closing.
