What Is a Bladder Infection?
10. Treatment
Bladder infections are caused by bacteria, and this means they can be treated with antibiotics. The specific type of antibiotics used will depend on the type of bacteria that is present, and the severity of the infection. In most cases, antibiotics will clear up in just a few days or so, but it is recommended to finish all of the antibiotics.
In the more severe cases, stronger antibiotics may need to be administered intravenously. If bladder infections keep on returning, then you will likely be expected to go on a longer course of antibiotics. Some women may also be given antibiotics to take after every time they have intercourse.
