Suggest Treatment For Bladder Infection And Dehydration
my mother is 97. always been healthy and we are getting a Ct tomorrow for something they picked up o a routine xray last week. They reported it as a nodule beside the aorta small no symptoms but she has been sick for 2 months because of bladder infection and dehydration. She lost down to 93 pound at that time but has gained back to a 100. My question is she too old to do anything invasive and does she want to got thru that. She is very intelligent woman and mind is still good little forgetful now but she can discuss present day politics with the best of them. zhow far should we go for treatment giving her age.
hi it’s reasonable to keep her comfortable with good quality lifestyle to keep her alert and cheerful. Urine culture and sensitivity test is done for infection and suitable anti microbial infections.Plenty of liquids and plain water,fruit juices and soups if no indigestion,flatulence or diabetes.
