Is Cephalexin 500 MG Strong Enough To Knock Out A Kidney Infection?
i saw a doctor today for a UTI that I got last wednesday but was not home to see a doctor for prior to today. After seeing the doctor today I had to wait until 6:30 tonight to get the prescription due to allergies and miscommunication. Anyway at this point my back is hurting very bad. Across my waist area. My question is if it has turned into a kidney infection by now will Cephalexin 500 MG be strong enough to knock out a Kidney infection?

HI
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS.
CEPHALEXIN 500 IS A GOOD ANTIBIOTIC FOR URINARY TRACT INFECTION.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING FEVER I WILL SUGGEST URINE CULTURE TEST.THIS WILL HELP IN SELECTING PROPER ANTIBIOTIC.
I HOPE YOUR DOUBT IS CLEARED.
