Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
hello, welcome to healthcaremagic
your history is surely suggestive of an infection.
please make sure you go through following investigations-
1. complete blood count.
2. liver function tests.
3. kidney function tests.
4. urine and blood culture and sensitivity

your reports will give clue to causative agent and respective antibiotics will be started then. till then emperical therapy is given covering major infections.

if there is a kidney stone suspected, please get an NCCT abdomen and Xray KUB done.

for time being, please take paracetamol and diclofenac(with pantop) to subside your symptoms.

my suggestion is to go to hospital and get a complete work up done. the treatment will be planned then accordingly.


hope this helps you.
I wish for your good health.
