How can urinary infection in an elderly woman be treated?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Kindly answer these questions. Does she pass urine properly or is she on a catheter? Is she in diapers? Does she have any problems in passing urine? Are there any urinary symptoms? Is she having control and sensation of urine? Does she have any episodes of fever? The source of infection is usually perineal and vaginal flora.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

This is a very common old age problem. The urine stays in her diapers and is the source of infection. Also due to old age, the immune system is weak. The local defensive mechanisms against bacteria get destroys. In your reports, all oral antibiotics are resistant. Rest are all higher antibiotics. As there are no symptoms like fever, I strongly suggest not to use antibiotics as unnecessary use may cause all antibiotics to be resistant and when in need then all antibiotics will be resistant. Also, try to keep perineal region as clean as possible. You cannot prevent from getting infections. Still, if you want I would suggest injection Piptaz (Piperacillin and Tazobactum) 4.5 g intravenous three times a day for seven days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the injection.
