Hi,

I am Dr XXXXXXX and I will try my level best to help you.

From what I understand you are having bladder folliculitis and want to know about its best treatment which do not interfere with your defibrillator.

Well folliculitis is an infection and it can be treated with oral antibiotic such as trimethoprim, one of the cephalosporins, nitrofurantoin or a type of fluoroquinolone. None of them has any issues / interference with having defibrillator.

Drinking plenty of water is also beneficial. So are cranberry / cranberry juice.

Hope above answer satisfies your need. Please feel free to contact me in case of further question/ queries.

Thanks for the query.
