hello . it is likely that you have developed an swelling in your kidneys due to a streptococcal infection of your throat. there is nothing to worry as the treatment given to you , that is the "shots" into your blood stream is correct and will help. i could give you a better picture if you could let me know what drugs they are giving you. thanks
