- Ultrasound KUB for checking the status of kidneys, ureter & bladder.
- take small frequent meals.
- take 30-45mins walk/exercise daily in the evening. It will make you fresh, healthy and is good for digestion.

Hopefully you will see improvement in 1-2 days BUT if condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital for further workup.
