Get treated: It sounds like your Mom may have a Urinary Tract Infection and you should not wait to get her treated. She must go to the doctor right away. Doctors will test her urine for signs of infection and prescribe an oral antibiotic. Left untreated, a Urinary Tract Infection can affect the kidneys and also cause sepsis, infection that makes its way into the bloodstream. As women age, more UTIs. Good luck.
