Suggest Treatment For Urinary Infection In A Bladder Cancer Patient

hi my mum is very ill with advanced bladder cancer but shes in no pain. `she has a urinary infection at the moment and is terribly confused, wont eat is drinking very little and im concerned about her taking tablets on an empty stomach? She had a visit from her gp yesterday but her couldnt take bloods because of her dehydration, we also know her iron levels are extremely low as shes lost all her hair but cant give her iron because of her empty stomach. Please let me know whats best to do, thanks margaret

Greetings. So main issues with the disease of your mother are
infection and low serum iron level
She requires injectable antibiotic therapy. For low iron, again injectable iron can be given as she is unable to tolerate oral iron.
Hope that solves your problem
regards
