Hello, I recommend you go to the doctor to have a urine culture, identify bacteria and have an antibiotic chart to choose the right antibiotic, I have been intubated for too long, is a condition for infection, you should see a surgical specialist to ask for a bladder catheterization on the pubic bone, to limit the infection, and to change the catheter is also easier and simpler. The procedure is also simple, requiring only local anesthesia to place the catheter.
