Suggest Treatment For E.coli Skin Infections

My mother just learned that she has e coli from a dermatological condition. She is 85 and refusing western medicine. She was told of one that was banned in many countries but not the US. She is incontinent and so has chosen to have a catheter put in to help keep her dry so she can apply a natural oil that she was told would clear it up. Can you advise me on with a western treatment that does not have the severe side effects that this particular med causes?

1. It is better to have her Urine tested for Culture and Sensitivity test prior to starting any western treatment, so that you and your doctor could know the antibiotic to which the organism is sensitive.

2. In the mean time, since catheter is inside, make sure to wash it every alternate day, since catheter for long time is one cause of fever and Urinary tract Infection.

3. At her age [85] due to weakened Immunity,it may take some time to show improvement, advise her to take plenty of fluids and start with medicine after culture results with proper dosage.
