Is Frequent Urination And Thirst Good For Kidney Infection Treatment?

I have had a kidney infection, this is the fourth day. The first three days I was drinking alot of extra fluids. I still had the urgency and frequency with little urine output. Today I haven't been drinking extra and my frequency and volume has increased and my urine is completely clear. This is also the second day of my antibiotic. I haven't been drinking extra but I've still been drinking and I feel a little thirsty. Is it just because my antibiotic is starting to work or could it be something else?

Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer.
As you said your urine output is increased and you also drink much so this is good. It is often advised in kidneys infection to take more fluids as it lowers burden on kidneys and make them work good. Beside this, as you mentioned that your urine is clear, so it means antibiotics are working and you need to complete its course. Don't stop in the middle. And do take fluids more.
Hope i answered your question. Feel free to ask if you need further assistance. Thanks.
