Beware of supermarket advertising on cranberry juice products, because it can be misleading. Check the ingredients label for the percentage of cranberry juice.
"Even when a juice says it's 100% juice, it may not be all cranberry," Howell says. It may contain mostly apple, pear or white grape juices with just a splash of cranberry for taste and color.
"Just remember that cranberry is useful in helping prevent UTI – not in treating it – and should be taken daily, if possible," Howell says. "If you have an active infection, seek medical treatment and get on antibiotics."
5. Do multiple sex partners increase the odds of UTIs?
No.
"The development of UTIs is more related to how much sex you have rather than who you have it with," Dr. Rankin says.
Even then, sex is just one way that bacteria spread to the urinary tract, she adds. Women who abstain from sex, and even children and babies, can still get UTIs.
Symptoms of urinary tract infection in children are similar to those in adults, but a child may also have wetting problems, a fever, poor appetite, a general "ill" feeling or no symptoms at all. A pediatrician will test for it by taking a urine sample to be cultured in a lab.
