Finished Medicine Course For Kidney Infection, Have Intense Itching And Rash. Cause?
I have recently been treated for a idney infection that showed e. coli . I finished the antibiotics and I feel it is not completely gone as ow I have intense itching and a rash and I am still tired and a little weak. I am trying to get a hold of my doctor and repeat a urine sample as they said I may need intervenous antibiotics. Can you get intense itching from a kidney infection?

Hi
welcome to HCM.
It can be a side effect of the medicines.
Stopping the medicines and anti-histamine medicines should help.
Intravenous antibiotics are usually given when oral medicines are not effective or if there is fever.
Weakness is due to the infection as such and you should recover soon after the infection is completely eradicated.
Best regards
