Back Pain Caused By Cysts. Taking Antibiotics For Kidney Infection. Stop Antibiotics?
ok so the doctors thought i had a kidney infection a couple days ago because there was something abnormal but they did a cat scan and saw nothing and saw nothing in my pee and told me to take an antibiotic and i have taken it for two days but i just found out today it was cysts causing the pain in my back not my kidneys so can i stop taking the medicine? second since im taking the medication and nothings wrong with my kidneys is it ok for me to consume alcohol??

If there is no infection in urine, you should stop antibiotics. If you are taking cephalosporins or metronidazole as antibiotic, avoid alcohol for a day after you stop it, otherwise you may have reaction. Investigate your cysts & get it treated.
