Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 95 year old father has a catheter. This has just been changed by a nurse but he has frequent hiccups and keeps yawning. He cannot eat much at the moment although usually eats well. I phoned his Dr. who thinks he may have a urinary infection and has put him on Amocillin antibiotic for 3 days at 3 capsules a day. I am wondering why he is getting this unusual hiccup whether he is laying down or sitting up, Can you advise?
