Anon, it might go away without getting treatment for it; some UTI's do. But some don't. Do you want to tell your mom that you had sex but you just don't know how? Or do you just want to tell her you have a problem but don't want her to guess that you had sex?
I'm guessing that it's the last option -- that you want to get some treatment but you are afraid your mom will figure out that you've had sex. And at 14, you don't drive yet, either, so you can't take yourself to get treatment. (A walk-in clinic would be able to diagnose you and give you antibiotics if you need them.)
Do you have a friend with a driver's license who would be willing to take you to a minor emergency clinic or a walk-in clinic? You would have to pay for the visit yourself, but that's one way that you can get checked and get a prescription. Also, there are free clinics in some places; if you'd like us to try to find one of those for you, let us know the city and state you live in and we'll see what we can find.
Do consider taking your mom into your confidence. She may be sad and angry that you had sex, and I know that will be difficult, but I'm sure she wants what's best for you, and would take you to a doctor.
And if you have sex again, you MUST at least use a condom, OK? If you can't go to a gynecologist without telling your mom, you have to at least take responsibility for your own body and health. A condom won't prevent all instances of sexually transmitted disease, and you have to use them properly (leaving room at the top for when he ejaculates). But it will help prevent infections and unwanted pregnancies. If you are old enough to be sexually active, then you have to be responsible about it, OK?
