Brief Answer:
Klebsiella Infection. Follow the guideline.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us on Healthcare Magic.

From your given information and culture test report, I can assume that your mother is currently suffering from Gastroenteritis due to KLEBSIELLA organism. Culture and drug sensitivity is good choice to rule out causative agent and treat the condition with suitable sensitive drug.

In this circumstances, I would recommend following treatment:

1) Start oral antibiotic with combination of Ofloxacin and Ornidazole (like O2 etc) or injectable antibiotic with netilmicin. These are highly sensitive on culture report and quite useful to treat klebsiella. Duration of therapy is 5 to 7 days in most cases. You can consult with your doctor regarding this.

2) Give paracetamol as required to reduce body temperature. Cold sponging can be given along with that.

3) Increase water intake up to 2 to 2.5 liter/ day. Mix ORS or ELECTRAL powder with drinking water to correct electrolyte imbalance. This is effective to treat loose motion and should be continued till complete recovery.

4) Maintain genital hygiene properly to avoid ascending infection. Empty bladder in time.

5) Give urine alkaliser (like Syp Uriliser) 2 to 3 times daily, mixed with water for alkalinization of urine. It is helpful to reduce infection load and recurrence.

6) Drink regular Cranberry juice 1 to 2 glass to flush out body toxin. It has supportive role in prevention of urinary infection.

Hope, I have guided you with my experience. If you need any clarification, you can freely ask me.

Wish her good health and take care yourself.

Brief Answer:
Stop Niftran. Follow the treatment guideline.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

You should stop or discontinue Niftran (Nitrofurantoin) at the earliest. It is used in urinary infection but not as first line drug therapy.

Second thing, it causes diarrhea or loose motion as adverse effect. So, it is not recommended in this case.

Go through the treatment guideline as mentioned in my earlier reply. According to culture report, Ofloxacin is more sensitive to treat Klebsiella infection and it is a first line drug nowadays. Combined Ofloxacin & Ornidazole is really helpful to treat urinary infection along with loose motion. Follow the rest.

Hope, I have cleared your doubts. If you don't have any other query, you can close the discussion.

All the best. Good luck.

Hello,

Thanks for query.

Yes, ofloxacin and ornidazole combination will help to eliminate klebsiella infection which leads to decrease or cure urinary pus cells. Ofloxacin is more sensitive in culture report. That's why it is preferred to treat the current infection.

For dry mouth, following things should be corrected or treated:

1) urinary infection and loose motion should be controlled by above treatment regimen.

2) dehydration should be corrected by increasing water intake 2- 2.5 liter/ day with electral powder or ORS
