Could High Fever Be Due To Flu Or Kidney Infection?

My husband has been running a fever of 103.2 since 4am this morning.He says his throat is sore, has a headache, his eyes hurt and is generally achy. His main complaint at this point is none of those. He is complaining of kidney pain. His mother is a kidney recipient... Does this sound like normal flu to you, or should I make him go to the hospital?

hello madam,
fever could be due to many reasons..
sore throat can be one of them...
it is not very easy to judge as pain to be kidney pain,,,there could be many other reason for pain at that site...
mother being a kidney recipient has nothing to do with your husbands pain...
better get an ultrasound done of the abdomen and see for the cause of the pain and get treatment accoedingly...
I find this answer helpful
