The cause of UTI is bacterial infection. So she need to take antibiotics to kill the bacteria. If the bacteria was eradicated, the symptoms will improve.
So she need to go to see the doctor again and perform urine culture to find out the bacteria.
Besides, she should drink more and more water to improve the uncomfortable.

I appreciate your clear explanations of UTI and APN. Judging
from the back pain my mother has experienced, it sounds
more like APN, except she does not really have symptoms
like fever and chilliness etc. She does not seem to have
trouble with voiding either. From the doctor's report, there is
an excess of pus cells in the urine, but the rest seems pretty
normal. She is on medication now--is that the only way for
the pain to be gone? Is there anything else she should do?

UTI(Urinary tract infection)include upper and lower urinary tract infection.
Kidney infection usually means APN(acute pyelonephritis) is the most common upper urinary tract infection.
APN usually has symptoms like fever, chillness,nausea, costophrenic angle koncking pain(back pain at knocking) and usually combined with lower urinary tract symptoms such as dysuria(pain at voiding), frequency, urgency, burning sensation at voiding.
Lower urinary tract infection means bladder or urethra infeciton(cystitis and urethritis), and symptoms were as above mentioned.
Please go to visit the doctor and take antibiotics to control the UTI, if severe APN, admission to the hospital to receive intravenous form antibiotics is needed.

Thank you for bring this up--that is the confusion
I had because the doctor told my mum she has a slight kidney
infection (without mentioning the bladder etc.) I will check
with her again to see what the doctor said about the exact
cause of the infection.

這些方法的確是預防感染的不二法則，
尤其是不憋尿、多喝水為首重要點，
另外提到蔓越苺汁，它具有良好的療效，
所含的青花素可改變特定種的大腸桿菌鞭毛結構，
使其無法黏附人體泌尿內襯，能有效降低泌尿道感染的風險，
對以產生抗藥性的大腸桿菌也有效，
可減少人體對抗生素的依賴。

補充一些：
1.保持良好的衛生習慣，如廁後由前往後擦拭、勿憋尿。
2.可至超市買蔓越莓汁，可讓尿液酸化，預防泌尿道感染。
3.另外有性行為者，應在結束後喝一杯水，並排尿。
