hello ganesh,
This could still be a urological problem.Before that,after the initial course of antibiotis did you mother get a urine culture done again.The possibility of a the organism being resistent cannot be ruled out.
Also if the cultures come positive,it is also advisable to get a genitourinary scan to rule out a complicated UTI.A visit to the urologist is recommended.
Good luck...
