My mother is 70 years old. She was admitted to hospital and was diagnosed with UTI. She was discharged after 7 days after her TLC came back to 11000 from 37000. Yesterday she again had vomits. 99.5 fever. Can it be UTI again. She was given Pipzo & Meropenem for 6 days.

Yes it can be UTI again. Ideally antibiotics should be continued after the culture becomes negative. Some residual infection might have present and is becoming evident. Do urine culture and start her on antibiotics again asap.
