HI

Greeting from Dr. Divakara.P          
First of all thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic for posting your query.


Pyelonephritis can explain your Flank pain . The cause of recurrent pyelonephritis is improper or inadequate treatment .

I advice you to get Urine Culture sensitivity test and ask your doctors to give Injection antibiotics as per the culture report. Take the antibiotics for 2 weeks and then repeat the urine culture sensitivity test.

If the repeat Urine Culture sensitivity test shows no further infection then you are completely cured but if it shows persistent infection then you need to continue the antibiotic for 7 more days and repeat Urine Culture sensitivity test again.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
