Brief Answer:
May be urinary tract infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms mentioned can well be due to urinary tract infection or UTI. I don't think cipzen d will cause UTI. It doesn't have any ingredient to cause such reaction.
I would suggest testing urine routine and culture and then start antibiotics. We commonly use levofloxacin or nitrofurantoin. You will need to talk to her doctor regarding exact preparation and dosage. Also she needs to take lot of water. Sometimes we use urine alkalisers like alkasol to help with the symptoms.
Hope this helps.
Regards
