Suggest Treatment For Kidney Infection
Hello, I have a kidney infection and have been on ciprofloxacin for 8 days now. I had severe pain on left side. As things have cleared up, I still have pain coming and going. This is the third kidney infection I have had. I am 34 years old. I am worried about the pain I am still feeling in my left kidney. Can you please let me know if it s normal to have residual pain this long a after?I am on the antibiotic for 21 days.
