Suggest Cure For Kidney Infection
I have had a scan and both my kidneys are inflamed. I feel really ill- dizzy, sick, tired and generally very unwell. I've had a kidney infection for 9 weeks that hasn't responded to any antibiotics. I am waiting for a referral to a specialist but I am worried what to do in the meantime.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i would advise you to continue with an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin twice daily. You should mention the following :
1. your age and sex.
2. what scan have you had; ultrasound or CT-IVU. A CECT is mandatory.
3. urine routine and culture tests, and microalbumin.
4. blood routine, creatinine,sugar,and platelets.
After examination by an Urologist,the reports will help in specific treatment.
If you've any doubt,you may send it to me, as a direct question.
