Hi you’ve posted this twice!
Make sure you’re drinking LOTS of water.
Acidic things like soft drinks can irritate your bladder so maybe avoid them and drink more water.
If you’re taking cranberry pills to help there’s conflicting research on whether those actually help or make it worse so maybe stop taking them.
Do not hold in your pee. Genuinely try and avoid doing it ever again. Even if you are literally going to the toilet every 2.5 minutes I know it’s so annoying.
Wipe only from front to back.
If you wear thongs/tight underwear swap them for looser cotton underwear and if you can don’t wear underwear to bed.
Make sure you’re peeing after sex, every single time.
Avoid sex until you are 100% sure the infection is gone.
If you’ve had multiple rounds of antibiotics please get yourself some probiotics and talk to a pharmacist on how to take them when you’re taking antibiotics at the same time, as you’ll need to take them a couple of hours apart.

If this is a recurring issue ask your doctor if you can be referred to a urologist
