Question

i drink a lot of tea and no water, yea i know shame shame. so i believe this is due to my kidneys hurting

Answer 1

I seldom drink more than a couple of glasses of cranberry juice in one day.  But that has more to do with a problem I have with excess acid.  Drink as much as you want as long as it doesn't cause any other problems.  And drink more water until your kidneys feel better.

Answer 2

For it to work you're going to have to drink A LOT of cranberry juice. When I had UTI I drank a glass until my belly was full, and if it felt empty again, I just filled it right back up. I would suggest doing it in little sips though. Just have a bottle or glass on hand throughout the day. You'll probably have to do it for a day or two if you want it to work. Good luck!

Answer 3

Make sure you are really having flank pain and it's your kidneys. It would be on one side of the body between the upper abdomen and the back. Flank pain often means kidney trouble, if accompanied by fever , chills, blood in the urine, or frequent or urgent urination.
