What Do Severe Abdominal Pain, Blood In Urine And Fever Indicate?

My husband has been dealing with what he believes are kidney stones since last week (Wed). He s been in bed most of that time, managing the pain with ibruprophen, drinking lots of water and cranberry juice. He s had fever, etc. He went to his doctor this Wednesday and was started on antibiotics yesterday afternoon. He now has blood in his urine and is concerned that he should go to urgent care. Pain is about a 5. I don t think he has a fever. Should he just continue what he is doing (bedrest, fluids, etc) or should I take him to urgent care. Thanking you in advance for comments Sorry for wasting your time. I think we will wait to see how he does tonite.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Suggestive of kidney stones until proved otherwise. Based on the history your husband seems to be suffering from hematuria (blood in the urine) apparently caused by kidney stones. He should consult a urologist immediately for further evaluation including lab tests such as urine analysis and an abdominal ultrasound to rule out kidney stones. Meanwhile he should continue taking the pain killers and oral fluids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
