HI
Thank for choosing HCM, I really surprised, why your dad being prescribed, Whysolone, it is steroid,, if infection is there then this steroid will definitely flair up the condition, it would be much difficult to auotolize the infection,, there is better way, for putting him on proper antibiotic, is go for culture sensitivity test of urine ,, if possible bladder (urinary) can be washed with povidone solution diluting with saline water,,,have nice day.
