Persistent UTI with diabetes needs further testing. A urine culture can help find the right medicine. Keep sugar levels in check to help recovery.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test or Take a Glucose Fasting and PP Test Test

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 was experiencing pain and irritation before and after urinating, therefore, I got a urine routine and culture test done. I am attaching my report. Please suggest? I was also taking tablet Zenflox UTI, Alkabest syrup, and Surfaz SN cream for local ointment. This was given by a chemist.
