Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After a severe kidney infection, mild remnant inflammation is likely which is causing the pain. It can also be due to a muscular spasm. Taking anti inflammatory medicines and hot fomentation in the area will be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

post kidney such dull aches are usually common. but then things need to be verified. need answers to few questions before suggesting something.
1. Does this pain stay only in the back or radiates to legs or to other side.
2. When is the pain maximum or what makes the pain worse.
3. what time of the day is usually the pain maximum.
