I am British Citizen settled in the UK with my family, my mom she's visiting me from India. When my dad was alive, prior to covid, they both visited me here 3-4 times. After dad passing away, she's visiting us first time after covid. I have got stuck in one query while filling her form.

Have you ever been given medical treatment in the UK? - in this question i am confused wheher to select Yes or NO. As before covid while she was here, she got major cyst infection and after trying many home treatments and medicines, when it got major we had to rush to A&E and they prescribed her one antiboitics and a cream. We bought the medicine ourselves but they didn't;t any fee.

I'd like to be honest and be clear what had happened but little unsure how to take this forward in the form. Please advise if anyone were in this situtiaon

thanks
