Sounds like a recurrent urinary infection. Since symptoms return after stopping antibiotics, a deeper cause like prostate or bladder issue may need evaluation. Please get a urine culture to identify exact bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity. Repeat infection may need longer treatment.

My mother has diabetes and today her urine report says pus and red blood cells persist. She has pain for the last 5 days. Before 10 days she took the covid vaccine. What should I do? Please suggest.

My father is 63 years old and he has diabetes. Recently we visited his regular diabetic doctor for a check up and at that time he said my father is having infection in urine and due to this he should avoid salty foods and ghee foods. We followed his instructions. But in the past few days he was suffering from cold and fever. Suddenly we could not take him to his regular doctor for a check up so I took him to a nearby clinic and that doctor advised to do a culture test. I got the results today. I would like to know what is in the results. Is the report normal? I am attaching the lab report for reference. Thank you.

I have attached my urine report, and the doctor mentioned there is an infection. I have been advised to take IV fluids and injections in the morning and evening, with only a general consultation mentioned. I am a 33 year old and feeling a bit worried. Could you please review the report
