Can Antibiotics Help To Reduce Kidney Infection?

Hello Dr, Bhuahan

I was given antibiotics for a kidney infection on Monday and the doctor said to come back in 3 days if it wasn't getting better. Today I have the chills, achy legs, pain in my kidneys. I have booked an appointment for this afternoon but wanted to get a second opinion?

Thanks

Hi welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your query.
Now you are having chiils, achy legs, pain over kidney suggesting possibility of urinary tract inf UTI.
I would suggest to do urine routine/micro and culture and ultrasound to diagnose problem.
As you had taken antibiotics for three days so culture report is necessary to find out pathogen.
Drink plenty water as it help in washout infection.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
