Sepsis is usually very fast-acting, with the patient going from feeling okay to literally near death within hours -- my father almost died several times with sepsis attacks before his urinary tract problems were fixed.
Sadly, a couple of these incidents were because the ER staff didn't take my father seriously when he told them what was going on -- one even knocked him out with Valium!!!
The best way to help him is to get him to the ER when this is happening. Be sure to emphasize the urinary tract infection history.

He needs the care of a physician.Cranberry juice made from fresh cranberries is good and lots of water.Also UTI's can be transmitted sexually if that matters.
