Question: My father age 85 is suffering from recurrent urine infection and puscell coming out from urine resulting fever.
Brief Answer:
Antibiotics- after culture and sensitivity
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Recurring urinary tract infection indicates, possible cause to be incontinence/ incomplete evacuation or inappropriate antibiotics therapy.
2. If Prostate problems are present, then incomplete evacuation will lead to residual urine, which can get infected, and results in recurring infection. Correction of prostate problems along with plenty of fluids and cranberry juice will reduce recurring infection.
3. If urine culture and sensitivity was not done before identifying appropriate antibiotics, then its necessary. Do get this test done. Along with above correction and appropriate antibiotics, infection is easily treatable.
4. More fluids along with cranberry juice will help in removing of infection through urine.
If any catheter is being used, it needs to be removed to avoid another source of entry of infection.
Do discuss with your doctor regarding tests.
Hope it helps.
