Pseudomonas Detected In Urine. On Keflex, Augmentin, Ciprofloxin For Kidney Infection. Advice?
I am on my forth course of antibiotics for a kidney infection- this started in the kidney not as a uti- I still feel awful.
Should I be referred to a specialist to see why it is not responding or what may have caused this?
4 weeks on antibiotics feeling unwell is too long I am fed up.
Pseudomonas was detected in my urine and I have been treated with Keflex, augmentin, ciprofloxin 7 day courses commenced my second course of this today.
Thanks

Hi, you are undergoing treatment repeated treatments for kidney infections, and you didn't mention the symptoms, it may not be an infection, it may be some thing else like ischemia, grouth etc. If infection you can have culture and sensitivity and treatment accordingly.
So i advise you to consult a nephrologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
