Brief Answer:
confirm diabetic status
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
He needs to be started on that antibiotic for 7 days with alkanising syrup and he has to drink more water.
His sugar is on higher side. If he is non diabetic then I suggest to get fasting sugar level and HbA1c to diagnose diabetes and start treatment.
If he is already known diabetic then his antidiabetic dose needs to be increased under guidance of his doctor .
For convulsions no need to change drugs but be cautious because during infection chances of getting convulsions increases.
