Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Bladder Infection
I have had numerous bladder infections. One being or several being Kiebsiella. I have read that this could be caused by a breathing machine. I do have a C-pap machine and I clean it every 3 days. I alcholhol the nose piece and also use anti bacterial soap on the hose. It seems like I get ride of one infection and within 5 days another one starts. The urologist had me on a regimine of Macrobid 100mg for a yr and it did keep it down, but not gone. This getting very concerning. Any suggestions would be helpful, I do continue to wash my hands
