Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

UTi treatment: Treat the UTI with antibiotics which are selected based on culture results. The supplements used should be fine, but if high in sugar content, please check with your PCP. Continue to monitor closely, follow a diabetic diet and have good skin care. Avoid abrasions, dry skin and follow up with your provider.
