Hello, my father is facing some problems: urge and itching during urination, brown yellowish urine, dizziness, fever, and loss of appetite. He went for a checkup and the doctor said it is a urine infection and gave him medication for 5 days. After three days, all problems went away and he felt normal. The medicines were Pyridium 100, Nimegesic P, and a heavy antibiotic (I do not remember the name). After 5 days, the doctor advised discontinuing the treatment. Now after 3 days, the problem started again. He went to the doctor and was given the same medication plus Nitrobact 100. Again all symptoms went away. Please tell what the problem could be? I have attached the urine report.

Recurrent urinary infection in elderly may be due to incomplete treatment, prostate issues, or antibiotic resistance. A culture and prostate check is advised. Continue follow up with urologist.

My father was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection and treated with cefox and augmentin. He recovered for one week but at that time pus cells and RBC were present in the urine report and TLC was 13900. Then after eight days fever repeated and TLC was 13000 but urine was clear. He was treated with ampicillin 500 four times. Now after eight days fever has repeated. What will be the cause? Urine culture is negative. There is some increase in the prostate. A stone is seen in the gallbladder. Every Monday fever repeats.

I have a urine infection and went for a urine culture. I have a burning sensation while passing urine. This is my report. I need a good suggestion.

My routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?
