Rainy, get yourself some cranberry capsules. Cranberry is very good to flush bacteria thru the urinary tract but it's hard to drink enough juice to make a difference, so the capsules can be helpful.

You can also take some Ural or similar to ease the symptoms...just don't let it slide with seeing the GP for too long because you can end up much sicker with a kidney infection if you're not careful (nausea, headaches, pain, vomitting, etc = not nice).
