What Causes Pain In Kidney Area After Taking Ran-ciproflox?

Hello. I am taking an antibiotic (ran-ciproflox 500MG) for a UTI and just started it last night. When I woke up this morning I felt a pain in my kidney area. I took one of the pills and threw up shortly after. Should I stop taking this medication or should I continue?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .

Pain in kidney area with vomiting is not due to Ciprofloxacin that you have taken for UTI but it is most likely to be due to presence of stone either in kidney or ureter and needs to be investigated .

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Renal function tests.

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis more precisely on size and site of the stone and effect of the stone on kidney function .

Till then take antibiotic likee Cefotaxime and Nitrofurantoin with anti spasmodic like Cyclopalm twice daily and urine alkalizer like Citralka thrice daily .

Ensure to drink more water to keep youself well hydrated .
