What Causes Stomach And Back Pain With Fever While Having UTI?

Hi dear. Welcome to HealthCareMagic. Thanks for trusting us. I have understood your questions. But before, may I know what kind of antibiotics do you use? How long have you consumed this drug? It s really helpful when I know surely the name of your drug so I can look for the possible cause of your condition. For urinary tract infection, the antibiotics which most given is from fluoroquinolone class such as ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin etc. This kind of drug have several side effects especially in causing GI discomfort (abdominal pain, cramps, nausea or vomiting) like the symptoms you have. The others are dizziness, headache, fatigue, weakness etc. Another class of antibiotics usually used for UTI is cotrimoxazole (combination of trimethoprim - sulfamethoxazole). It also can cause nausea, vomiting and anorexia. Beside that, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid can be used for UTI and it minimally causes GI distress. The fever that you felt is called subfebris. If I were your treating doctor, you can take acetaminophen 500 mg for your fever. If any of your symptoms get worse, it s better to contact your local doctor. You should know that the goals of UTI treatment are eradication of infection, preventing​ complications and preventing recurrence. Take all the antibiotics like your doctor prescribed, because stopping it in the middle of treatment can cause resistence. For prevention of UTI you should drink plenty of water and drink cranberry juice. Some studies suggest cranberry can reduce recurrence of UTI. Keep your private area clean and dry. I hope this answer can resolve all your concerns. If there s anything else you need to know, feel free to ask me in HCM. I d be glad to help you. Wish you get better soon. Take care. Regards, dr.
