I have been diagnosed with a kidney infection for which I am taking antibiotics. The first antibiotic was too strong and made me very ill. The vomiting and diarrhea started Sunday night. So I missed a day of the antibiotics and picked up a new one which I will finish tomorrow evening. I have begun to notice a frothiness to my urine. Is that something I should be concerned about? I was beginning to feel better today until tonight. The diarrhea finally eased, but returned minimally tonight and now I feel a bit nauseous and have a 99 degree temp.
