Why Did I Get Back Pain While I Was Taking Cipro For Cyst In Kidney?

I was diagnosed with a kidney infection 12 days ago. put on cipro for two weeks. had a cat scan that showed a cyst in kidney. I was feeling good until today when the back pain returned. I have 2 days left of cipro but im concerned because of the pain returning. does this mean the cipro is not working?

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have Cyst in your kidney and UTI and have been taking antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin )for a week but still has pain .

The cysts in the kidneys are benign cyst and can not be cured with any antibiotics .

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefexine along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Taking non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs like Diclofenac will help to relieve pain.

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Ensure to drink more water.To keep your urine dilute
