Urologist,  's  Response
Hi.
With per urethral catheter in place, it is natural to acquire urinary tract infection. Unless symptoms develop secondary to UTI, it does not require treatment. U need to change the catheter every 4 weeks. If symptomatic, he should be treated with urine culture sensitive antibiotics.

As far as diet is concerned, patient ideally requires low fat, low sugar, low cholesterol diet. On Ryle's tube is being given the correct diet. Once he improves, he should take more vegetables, fruits and whole grains and cut back on meat, dairy products, egg yolk, salt, etc.
