Suggest Treatment For Fever And Pus Cells In Urine
I am writing this mail regarding my father.
He had a cardiac bypass in april 2011. it was successfull. In june he started having fever in evenings. He was put on iv tazact for uti infection for 7 days. After that the fever went away and came back in 1-2 weeks. He was then diagnosed with typhoid and given ofloxacin and some other combo medication for 1 week. The fever went away. It came back again in 1 week. His urine tests now reveal pus cells in range of 15 to 20 . He is diabetic.He is complaining of fever around 100 and feeling cold.
Thanks

hello..
he is a patient of recurrent UTI
as he is a diabetic patient he is more prone to recurrent infections..
i would advise you to get an USG of abdomen and pelvis along with liver and kidney function test..
these tests are to rule out possibility of kidney stones/ cysts and immune compromise due to various causes..
it is better if you can get him evaluated by urologist for RECURRENT UTI..
after the necessary workup he may have to a long term antibiotic therapy and any other treatment as advised by urologist
his sugar levels should be monitored and maintained at recommended levels..
hope my answer helps you
if you have any more queries i would be happy to answer..
