Suggest Treatment For Flank Pain And Bacterial Kidney Infection

No need to worry. Can take it without worries.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that the use of nitrofurantoin is not restricted to infections of bladder only. Try to understand what an antibiotic is. An antibiotic prevents bacteria from growing. During a culture we put antibiotics where the bacteria are growing (culture) and we check which are the antibiotics which limit the growth. Since the culture and sensitivity report indicates that the bacterial growth is restricted by nitrofurantoin you can take it safely and without worries. It can therefore be taken even in case of a kidney infection and the chances are that it will be equally effective when it is administered. You therefore need not be concerned. You need not seek an alternative. However, if according to the culture and sensitivity report there is another oral antibiotic that has similar efficacy that can be used as well. You can upload the report and I would be able to guide you further.
Feel free to write back.
