9.Taking the medicine Phenazopyridine
If you noticed that your urine is looking foamier than usual, it might be the over-the-counter painkillers that you take could be to blame. Liss says that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs in particular such as Advil, Mortin, Aleve, and many more can cause you high levels of protein in your urine. Sometimes those painkiller medicines can result in any allergic reactions which may cause inflammation in your kidneys, which is the worse.
Phenazopyridine is a pain reliever that affects the lower part of your urinary tract that includes bladder and urethra. It is used to treat urinary symptoms such as pain, burning sensations, increased urination, and increased in the urge to urinate. These symptoms can be caused by infections, injury surgery, catheter or other conditions that are directly connected and irritated the bladder. It will treat urinary symptoms but this medication will not treat UTI. You may want to see your doctor and let him prescribe you an antibiotic to treat your infection.
