Hi and welcome to HCM..
I am really sorry for your mother's health condition but do not worry, it's not something to worry about..
I thank you for posting your query here and I'm definitely going to help you out..

I being a surgeon, we encounter so many such cases day in and day out..
I read your question completely and have understood it well enough..

I will analyze all your points and provide information on how to go about.

1. Frequent micturation is definitely a sign of urinary tract infection, Uti.
Your doctor has prescribed antibiotics for the same..

2. BP is slightly on higher side, you need re check and thorough evaluation later.
But rest, all good. No Diabetes.
Feeling weak is expected, because she's passing a lot of urine...

3. Good that there's no burning sensation..
And we'll wait for reports.

4. Yes Cefixime, she can take immediately after reaching home. No problem.
200mg is ideal dose for adults.

5. Let her disperse in 100ml water, that should be sufficient and then drink water.

6. The time period between drug intake should be ideally 12 hours apart, but it can be 10 hours too..
So based on this, you can decide next dosage.

Hope this helps you, in case you need any help with this, please let me know.
Take care and God bless.
