I think I know the answer to this one but is it common for someone with dementia to have continuous infections?
Mums had verrucas which took over a year to shift, then last year she had a fungal nail infection which she still has, then she's had two outbreaks of varicose eczema this year which the doctor gave antibiotics. Then today we went back to the GP and we were given another course of antibiotics for her bronchitis.
Is there anything we can do to help because I am concerned that she is taking too many courses of antibiotics and the doctor seems to be handing them out like sweets.
