Does Fever Need Immediate Medical Attention When Diagnosed With A Kidney Stone?
I went to er last night for left flank pain. Diagnosed with kidney stone. Sent home with Norco, zofran and flomax. Feel a little better but have spiked a temp 100.8. Discharge instructions say I should return to er if a few things occur and one of them is fever/chills. Doctors office is closed. Should I go to er or monitor temp for a while and notify doctor in am?
You can have associated infection due to stone problem.
So you are having fever complaint as well.
You need to monitor your fever and if it is increasing then consult your doctor.Meanwhile continue prescribed medicine.
