Is Cipro Recommended In Case Of Kidney Infection?
I went to doctor thinking i had kidney infection. They agreed after a urine sample color and gave me cipro. Its been two days and still have pains but only when i sit up and more during the evening. My urine is close to clear being ive only drank water. Could this be a kidney stone without blood in my urine?

Ciprofloxacin us a good drug for empirical treatment of kidney infection. You might need to take it for over two weeks after the infection had subsided.
However if you have doubts as to presence of stones, you can get an ultrasound examination of your KUB region for any swelling of kidneys or stones. An xray of KUB Aldo could help pick up stones
