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.
Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have stone either in kidney or Ureter.along with infection of the kidney.
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical assessment and get following basic tests doen to confirm the diagnosis. 1) Routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to. 2)Ultrasound scanning of the abdomen to rule out urinary stone.
Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefexine along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.
Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.
