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?
