Don’t let a UTI ruin your trip, when in Mexico. They can be triggered by dehydration, holding it too long or running into bad bacteria.
UTIs are usually painful, and leave you running to the bathroom all over the place, burning every time you go, and even sometimes with blood. Drinking lots of water might make things better if you catch it early.
But if you’re running a fever, shaking uncontrollably, feeling a sharp pain in your back, or feeling queasy, it’s not just a UTI.
It could be a kidney infection and that’s no joke.
Well-known local clinics, often don’t speak English and will leave you waiting two hours to be seen, and the prices are a mystery.
A much more practical option is talking to a local online doctor, who usually are Mexican, speak English and can send you antibiotics to your hotel. They can also help you get rid of the discomfort without having to take a taxi while you’re in agony.
