What Causes Pain In The Kidney Area?
Question: I took 2 doses about 6 hours apart, of this medicatin (dextromethorphan HBr) for a persistent cough. Now I am having pain in my kidney! Is there a cause & effect here?
Brief Answer:
Pain could be due to coughing.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Pain in the kidney area could be due to muscle pain caused by continuous coughing. It will be relieved by muscle relaxant tablet .
If the pain still persists , you should get an Ultrasound abdomen and rule out kidney involvement.
Cough can be due to Upper respiratory tract infection, lower respiratory tract infection etc.You should get an Xray chest and confirm the cause.
If sputum is coming, you need an Antibiotic .
Please consult your doctor and proceed further.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
