Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your mother's symptoms indicate she has a UTI), which is more common in females. To confirm the diagnosis, you can get a routine urine examination done which will show pus cells and protein in the urine.
If it is actually a urinary tract infection, then you need antibiotics to treat her problem. For symptomatic relief, she needs to have plenty of fluids and do take plenty of fresh cranberry juice.
Kindly visit a Gynecologist, so that he/she may do a physical assessment and suggest few tests like Bloodwork, Urinalysis, Urine Culture or Ultrasound abdomen to rule out Urinary infection, to authenticate his/her clinical findings.
The treatment plan will be formulated accordingly after confirmation. Antibiotics are the typical treatment for a UTI.
I hope this answers your query effectively.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
