Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Safe To Continue Antibiotics While Having Persistent Pain Due To Kidney Infection?
I was diagnosed last Saturday with a Kidney Infection, and given Cipro. The pain was extreme through Monday, but is still very intense. My doctor is out today, and I was just wondering if that was normal - for the pain to still be pretty strong after antibotics for almost a week or do I need to go and be rechecked. Other than the pain I feel okay. I also took Azo on Tuesday and Wednesday which helped. Can I safely take that another 2 days?
If significant pain still persists after 1 week of antibiotics, it’s better that you go and get it checked. We might need an ultrasound abdomen to look for any collection or other complications.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
