How Safe Is Antibiotics For Kidney Infection?

I have been diagnosed with a kidney infection for which I am taking antibiotics. The first antibiotic was too strong and made me very ill. The vomiting and diarrhea started Sunday night. So I missed a day of the antibiotics and picked up a new one which I will finish tomorrow evening. I have begun to notice a frothiness to my urine. Is that something I should be concerned about? I was beginning to feel better today until tonight. The diarrhea finally eased, but returned minimally tonight and now I feel a bit nauseous and have a 99 degree temp.

Hi,
The low grade fever is a typical sign of urinary infection.It means your infection is not yet controlled.
- revisit your doctor, get your urine checked for -routine/microscopic/culture & sensitivity.
- Antibiotics have a pivot role in treatment of urine infection.
- It is usually decided after culture & sesetivity test of urine.
- Consult your doctor & inform him about the gastrointestinal upsets you have.so that he will advice antibiotics & acompaning medicines that suit you.
Urinary infection is notorious for recurrence. It needs along/continued treatment for total itrradicationof infection. So please follow Doctor's advice strictly.
