Ugh!!! Sorry about the UTI!

Here we also use coconut water for UTIs. Not sure if you guys get that over there.

I am a UTI expert. Go get some AZO and start drinking LOTS of water. You need to just drink as much as possible and avoid soda and coffee and teas. Cranberry juice is good for kidney function but for a UTI you really just need water.

I'm sorry you're sick, but why would you go to the ER for a uti? Can't you go to a reg doc or urgent care facility?

Angela's recommendation for AZO and water is exactly what I was going to say. If you can't find AZO, you can also look for Uristat, they both work great! Just keep in mind that they will turn your pee BRIGHT orange, lol.

the ingredient your looking for (in the AZO/etc) is pyridium (you can buy it over the counter now!) it will turn your urine BRIGHT orange but its THE BEST DRUG EVER! it numbs your bladder and ureter (pee tract). I travel with it even! But it DOES NOT CURE it. It only makes you feel better, and can buy you time so you don't have to go to the ER next time.
