Advice depends on your situation, especially with recurrent episodes. Seek medical advice for symptoms, particularly fever or significant pain.
Habits that may help
Drink enough fluids unless you have a medical restriction, and avoid holding urine for long periods. These habits may help but do not guarantee prevention.
When should you seek care?
Burning or frequent urination deserves advice. Fever, back pain under the ribs or symptoms during pregnancy needs prompt assessment. Recurrent episodes should be evaluated; do not use leftover antibiotics without a prescription.
