The nurse told me it crosses the brain blood barrier, effecting cognitive and non-cognitive behaviours. Inflammation of brain blood vessels may be to blame.
A woman who visited another resident in the facility stopped by to ask me how my wife was doing. I told her what the problem was. She said that the lady she was visiting had the same problem some time ago, but they were able to solve the problem by giving her antibiotics prophylacticly. I talked to my wife's doctor about the suggestion and she agreed that it was worth a try, IT WORKED. In answer to your question, meds can help. I hope that it works for your Mom.
Would also add some info I received from a great kidney specialist- do not drink cranberry juice when have a UTI. Cranberry juice is great as a preventative- it slightly irritates the urinary tract and prevents bacteria from sticking there...BUT when someone has a UTI and there is an infection- you don't want to irritate infected and already irritated area. Water then is best. Keep the cranberry for post-infection prevention.
Getting a doctor's evaluation is your first and best option. After that, consistent routines create comfort and familiarity. Lastly, meds can help ease anxiety or help a frustrated/anxious mind sleep at bedtime.
First you need to clear up the current UTI and medication would treat that.
Best of luck!!!
