Posted on Tue, 19 Mar 2024
Question: Hi - hospitals on Wednesday, diagnosed with infected kidney stone. Wanted to admit - I declined. Passed stone Thursday morning. Temp Thurs up when 800mg advil wears off (102.4). Started antibiotics on Wednesday. Today, Friday, flank still very tender, temp hovers around 100, body feels sore (and it hurts to take deep breaths (maybe from laying around??) - and generally feeling very icky still. Still feeling of needing to pee (UTI is the infection). Should I go back to ER? Wait on primary care doc? Give the antibiotics 2-3 more days? I’ll also mention I had COVID two weeks ago - so I feel like my white blood cells must hate me by now. Please & thank you for any answers!

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query.
Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to have UTI secondary to kidney stone .

As per your statement you have passed stone and the fever and pain that you have is due to UTI.

Start taking antibiotics like Cefixime and Nitrofurantoin toon along with pain killers like Diclofenac twice daily for 3 more days .

If you have done any investigations upload the reports to make precise comments.

Thanks and Regards
