What medicine to take for a female bladder infection?

A relative has bladder infection and I want to know what to take as an alternative to Cipro 500mg. I read Cipro makes bones hurt and has various side effects that my relative is experiencing. Any over the counter medicine that my relative can take to make the bladder infection not hurt? We tried Acetaminophen but that dont work. Thank you.

No, if you have an infection, you need an anti-biotics. Have you ever taken Cipro? It is very good when treating bacterial infections. Here are some commonly used medications below:

* Amoxicillin
* Doxycycline (should not be used under age 8)
* Cephalosporins
* Nitrofurantoin
* Sulfa drugs (sulfonamides)
* Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
* Quinolones (should not be used in children)
