Answers:
Your mom doesn't have a kidney infection, she's got a bladder infection (cystitis). She needs to be placed on a different antibiotic, not a higher dose. There are a number of different, effective antibiotics the doctor can prescribe.

Drinking cranberry juice every day can help prevent new bladder infections, especially interstitial cystitis, but it won't cure an existing infection.

drink lots of cranberry juice

well i had a kidney infection and the doctor made me drink lots of cranberry juice

she needs to be taking that medication. If she isn't, she needs to go to the doctor and have them admit her for iv antibiotics. If you let a kidney infection go it can cause major problems. No home remedy is going to make it go away.
