Should I Go To The Emergency If Having Lower Backpain And Stomachache After Taking Medication For Cysts On Kidney?

I was at the er 2 nights ago. I went because of high fever, minimal abdominal pain. they said I had a vaginal bacterial infection. I had a ct scan done and they saw a cyst on my left ovary that was 19 mm and a cyst on my kidney. They put me on 2 antibiotics (Cephalexin and Metronidazole). My fever is gone but extremely weak and lower dull back pain and tummy hurts worse real low. Im wondering if I should go back to the Er?

Thanks for your consultation at HCM !
I have gone through your case history and being your physician I completely understands your health concerns..
You have got urinary tract infection and ovarian cyst and renal cyst.
First you should get treated for urinary tract infection. Once it is over then we would look for other issues...
As far as ovarian cyst is concerned it should be looked with serial ultrasounds to see whether its size its increasing? Also additional features should be looked carefully like internal srptation , solid internal components....if these features appears then it need gynaecological intervention..
Kidney cyst should also be followed serially normally if it is not symptomatic it doesn't need any treatment....
If your symptoms still not relieved despite antibiotics then you should consult ER...
Hope your query is adequately answered if you still have any feel free to ask...
Regards
