Addressing Infections

"Urinary tract infections are common in elderly." Mayo

My loved one has another UTI, urinary tract infection.  The nursing home was quick to pick up on the symptoms, and he is on an antibiotic.  UTI's are something to watch for, as our loved ones become more incapacitated and take in less fluids.  Addressing this infection will make him more comfortable, which is so important.  Symptoms of UTI's include burning when urinating.  My loved one even had a burning feeling extending down into his legs.  Other symptoms can be urge to urinate, urinating small amounts, cloudy or red-tinged urine.
