What Causes Tiredness After UTI Treatment?

Hi, Dr. Rynne,I was recently diagnosed with a UTI and now the pain has stopped but I am so exhausted that I can barley hold my head up at work. I feel like I need to be laying down 24/7 for the last couple of days. My eyes feel tired and my back is hurting more than normal. Should I get some blood work done or what do you think. I just know I can t make it through many more days feeling like I just want to go home and lay down.hanks!ennifer

Hi welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of Dehydration associated with Urinary tract infection.I advise you to get Urine culture and sensitivity immediately.Also get an ultrasound abdomen to visualise kidney and urinary tract.Drugs like Tab. Norflox 400 mg twice daily for 5 days,Tab.urispas twice daily and Tab.Pantop 40 mg once daily before breakfast will be helpful.I advise you to take 3-4 litres of water daily.Fruits and fruit juices will be helpful.Avoid smoking and alcohol.Avoid hot and spicy food.Exercise regularly for 20-30 min.Avoid stress and anxiety.Maintain genital hygiene.If still symptoms persist after 5 days get urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity and take antibiotic accordingly.
Consult your nephrologist for expert management.
