Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

8 infections in one year means that you might have been exposed to lots of antibiotics ...coating on the tongue can be candida infection..need to get it checked and take antifungals fluconazole tabs for a week or oral nystatin gel. Lots of antibiotics also make you weak. Hope you had scans CT/ MRI for the lump in the kidney to rule out possible abcess. Hidden infections can cause headaches. And get your blood pressure and serum sodium potassium tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
