Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Stop the anti-inflammatory drugs at once. NSAIDS are never prescribed.
First, one needs to confirm, if the symptoms are due to a kidney infection.
The symptoms you've written, could occur in a severe kidney infection.
After getting examined by an Urologist,some tests are needed,for that,like :
1. urine routine,culture and ACR.
2. blood routine,creatinine,RBS,platelets,electrolytes and LFT.
3. USG-KUB,or CT-IVU.scan.According to reports,the treatment's advised.
You can send all reports to me here,as a direct question,for expert opinion.
