Hi,

Thanks for your query.

You mother has Urinary Tract Infection. XXXXXXX Pus means, there could a possibility of Infection involving urinary bladder or higher up.

Ideally, she will need a urine culture and Ultrasound abdomen. Since you have mentioned that, being Sunday it might be difficult to access hospital. I would recommend that she can take either of the tablets for the time being. Bactrim is preferable.

Make sure to see your doctor the first thing tomorrow morning.

Thanks and Regards

Dr Kiran
