My mum has what we think is a UTI. Spoke to her GP on the phone who sent through a prescription. She requested a urine sample to be brought in the following day (yesterday). I have got my mum taking the tablets, but have been unable to get her to do a sample.
She isn't showing any signs of improvement and what is now concerning me is her shortness of breath and her inability to exert herself in anyway. Trying to get up the stairs took about half an hour as she had to sit down and rest. I gave her paracetemol to bring her temperature down which worked. She hasn't much appetite.
Should I have seen an improvement by now - day 3? I am currently on hold with 111. She does have a history of UTI's. She is 84.
