Suggest Treatment For Kidney Infection

i went to the urgent care on Wednesday evening with intense back pain/cramping. Doctor diagnosed kidney stone or infection based on symptoms and urine sample with elevated white cells. He prescribed pain medication and antibiotic. The intense pain resolved in the next 12 hours. I am continuing to have discomfort, feeling bloated/swollen in the lower abdomen even though the pain is minimal compared to Wednesday. Is this normal? Should I expect to have this pressure in the area for a while?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
You had been to urgent care for pain in abdomen and back and is suspected to have stone in the kidney .

Though your pain has reduced to discomfort you need to confirm the cause for pain in loin .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic
tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
