Could Pain And Fever Be Caused By Kidney Infection?

Hi i have had pain and sickness from a kidney infection since sunday, i went to hospital on tuesday where they confirmed it was a kidney infection. I was put on a drip of antibiotics and a cipro for a week and told that if i didnt feel better by thursday to see my gp. Went to my gp on thursday with temperature of 38 and pain that had spread round the front under my ribs travelling down towards my belly button. Urine was clear and he advised i finished my course of antibiotics before any further investigation. I am still in pain and got a temperature what else could this be? Could i still be in pain from my kidney infection or should i have seen some improvement by now?
