Question 1

My mother has been dealing with a urinary tract infection and her creatinine level reached 6.62, but after treatment, it has come down to 5 over the last 3 months. Her blood sugar is under control, and shes on medication, currently being treated by a well-known nephrologist. However, her hemoglobin has dropped to 7.1. She consumes 200 ml of double-toned milk and 50 gm of chicken daily, along with other foods. Im wondering if beans and peas are bad for her kidney health. Also, is it safe for her to drink chamomile tea, or are there other foods or remedies that can help reduce her creatinine level?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to a urinary tract infection or inflammation in the bladder. To help alleviate the burning sensation, you can take an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent E. coli infection that may not have fully cleared despite antibiotics. Chronic or recurrent infections can be due to incomplete treatment, an underlying issue like a urinary tract abnormality, or antibiotic resistance. It's important to consider a urine culture with antibiotic sensitivity testing, possibly imaging studies beyond ultrasound (like CT or MRI), and reviewing the semen culture results to address any underlying causes. A urologist or infectious disease specialist could help explore further options.
