What Could Cause Pain In The Right Side (below The Kidney) Even 7 Days After Taking Medicines For Kidney Infection?

I have severe right side pain around the waist height, it is hard to sit or lie down on the right side. It hurts a lot to stretch. I do have a kidney infection but I have been on meds for 7 days now and that pain is getting better. But I do not know what this pain is, it is lower than the kidney area.
