HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your sister and let me tell you that looking to the history given here I would suggest to go get done the urine test, because chances of urinary tract infection is likely, continue the symptomatic medicine, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
