Hello,
A kidney infection may cause problems with urination and also nausea and chills but generally, these happen at the same time and I would not expect a kidney infection to last for so long.
The best way to make sure if you have a urinary infection or not would be to have a urinalysis and possibly a urine culture.
After the results of these tests, the doctor will know for sure if you have an infection and which antibiotic is needed in this case.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
