Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My Mom has a urinary tract infection. Went to Dr. on Monday to confirm UTI. Received antibiotic and was told to take Tylenol for fever. She also recently had neck surgery and was in a Rehab. Facility for two weeks.She just got home from Rehab. last week and was doing so well until the UTI hit her. She is so weak. She is drinking lots of fluids and eating good. She has Home Health coming in and will start more physical therapy next week. She has had bladder cancer and has had three surgeries in the last year. She has been taking Cranberry vitamins and her last UTI was in Nov. 2016. I am so worried because she was doing so well after rehab and this UTI has made her go backwards. Her legs are so weak she can hardly walk and all this has happened in less than week. She has been doing her exercises. Just wanted to know if there is anything I can give her to help with the weakness? She is drinking boost too.
Cranberry juice is great to cure any lingering UTI. Also alkalinize her urine by giving her apple cider vinegar. And check her urine frequently till fully normal. Also rule out Diabetes--regards
