Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Penicillin is a group of antibiotics, which are found to be effective against many bacterial infections.
Side effects of penicillin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, rash and itching.
However, it is not known to cause pain in the kidney and blood in urine.
Since you are diabetic, these symptoms could be due to infection of the urinary system, which needs further evaluation in the form of:
1. Urine routine examination.
2. Ultrasound scan of abdomen.
Kindly consult Urologist with the report for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
