Hello I am a female age 33.My problem started with pain on my right side hip area and near the kidney area. I have swollen gland in my right side groin. The pain seems dull and stabbing. I went to aGP he gave me pain killers but it didn t help much. He said I am having a kidney infection. I was not aware of this because except for the back pain I didn t notice any symptoms. I had blood test, urine test and urine culture test. There was no bacterial growth and the urine report showed pus cells rate 10-12, red cells 1-2. My GP said if I drink 3lit of water a day it will clear. But its nearly 2 months now I still feel the pain in my kidney area and when I touch with my fingers on my back I can feel a little lump/gland (I don t know how to refer it) type thing only on the right side area of my kidney. Is it something serious or should I just ignore it? I feel I might sound like silly if I refer this to my doctor because when I asked if there is no need to take antibiotic he laughed and said water will clear the bacteria.
