Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My mother is 78 years old. She has high BP and diabetes. She takes regular tablets. She gets UTI at least once a year. She is currently complaining of a burning sensation all over the body. During the daytime, she passes very less urine. But during night time, she is going very frequently. I have uploaded her urine culture report. Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Do you have sonography of abdomen? If not, please do an ultrasound of abdomen with post-void residual urine to rule out any physical cause of UTI (urinary tract infection). As per the history, you can give tablet Levofloxacin 500 mg once daily for seven days and tablet Cranpac (Cranberry extract) twice daily for 30 days to prevent UTI.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I hope the second medicine will not cause any disturbance in diabetes. Or else we can limit the dose to one per day.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
No, it will not cause any problem. If any, then you can limit the dose to one. But start with two tablets.
