Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 45 years old, suffering from diabetes. I have fasting blood sugar average 140 to 150 mg/dl and also I have urine infection showing pus cell in plenty. Kindly suggest me for controlling infection in urine.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read through your post and I can see that you are on antibiotic. However, the one you are taking is most likely not effective against urinary tract infections you are suffering from. It is important to treat the infection so I would advise you to get a culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing of your urine to see, what kind of organism is causing the infection and what antibiotic will likely to be effective against it. Based on the results, you can be put on the most suitable antibiotic for this. Please go to the hospital, if your symptoms worsen or if you develop fever, shivering or generally start to feel unwell.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
