Hello,
The symptoms of your mother seem to be related to urinary incontinence.
I suggest giving medication to relax the bladder muscle and can increase the amount of urine your bladder can hold such as Oxybutynin.
It is available over-the-counter in patch form, which delivers 3.9 mg of oxybutynin daily through the skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
