Suggest Antibiotics For UTI That Can Be Injected Intravenously
I have a friend that was just hospitalized with a UTI but now she can t walk! The family is saying that her blood sugar is normal @ 106 & was told the reason that she can t ambulate is because of neuropathy. I ve heard of lower extremity maybe preventing this but not in her thighs & calves. Her most recent complaint is acute abdominal pain. Are there any pain meds. that could cause this reaction. What is the best antibiotic for a UTI via IV??
