Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has urinary tract infection. She needs antibiotics. Choice of antibiotics is very important because she has resistance. She should go for urine culture and sensitivity test and start antibiotics according to results. Levofloxacin or norfloxacin can be helpful. She should also go for blood sugar test to rule out diabetes. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
