What Causes Pain, Fever Even After Taking Antibiotics For Kidney Infection?

My daughter was diagnosed with a kidney infection and placed on antiobiotics yesterday morning. Now 36 hours later the pain is still intense, she still has a fever and cannot eat. Should we give the antibiotics more time, or would a visit to an emergency room be the best course now?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Your daughter has been diagnosed to have kidney infection hopefully your family Physician .

She needs to get examined by a qualified Urologist and get following basic tests done to establish a diagnosis .
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.

In the mean while continue taking antibiotics that she has been prescribed

Ensure that she drinks more water to help her to keep her urine dilute .

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