Home remedies against bladder infection?

Is there anything that's known to help against bladder infections, without the need to go traipsing to my GP and stuff myself with antibiotics, please?
I'm absolutely plagued by bladder infections so I can tell you what works for me ... cranberry tablets! I know lots of people swear by cranberry juice but the capsules work even better IME - you can get them loads of places - Holland and Barrett, Boots, etc.
Also, at the first signs of an infection - drinks loads of water to flush it out. Easier said than done, I know but it really does help!
You've probably already been told this but if you're prone to them make sure you empty your bladder before and after sex.
And if you start to experience any symptoms of a sore back, fever, lethargy, etc go to your doctor as it may be a sign that the infection has spread to your kidney and you will need antibiotics.

Hiya...
If your prone to getting it quite often I suggest you make water a key factor every day as part of your daily routine. Years ago I used to suffer from bladder infections...prob cos I only drank coke:(. Now without fail I ensure I drink my 2 litres of water a day...its boring but I haven't suffered since.

Right, lots of water it is! And thanks for the tip with the cranberry tablets - I tried drinking the juice, but it's quite sugary, and doesn't actually seem to help!
