My mother was at the doctor yesterday. She said she wasn't feeling very well over the past week. She said her sleep was disturbed about every two hours because she needed the toilet. My mother went to the doctor and the GP diagnosised a UTI. This is my mother's first UTI as far as I know. She has antibiotics now for 5 days.
It's bad timing, a week before Christmas. I hope the antibiotics work and it clears up. If not I don't know what she can do over Christmas.
Is there anything I can do to help her aside from encouraging to drink fluids which she likely won't do because she's going to the loo a lot.
I read about d mannose but I have no experience of this.
My mother says cranberry juice will help but I am apprehnsive about that due to sugar in the juice. My mother has claimed there is sugar free cranberry juice.
Is there anything I can do to help her?
