My 86-year-old mother has a history of diverticulitis and has recently experienced left abdominal pain. She has been eating nuts again, which she had ceased for months. She takes 100mg nitro for UTI prevention and has had diverticulitis attacks treated with cipro and metroz antibiotics in the past. This morning, she had strong abdominal pain and took a buscopan. How long should she wait to see a doctor for antibiotics, should she continue taking nitro to prevent UTIs, what would be the best antibiotic for this situation, and are there any other recommendations?
