Is Fluid Hydration And IV Ceftriaxone Be Safe For Abscess In Kidney?
My daughter is a junior in college and over the past year has has multiple UTI s, pyelonephritis, diagnosed and is being treated for interstitial cystitis. Two days ago she was having right sided back pain, fever and nausea to the point where she went to the student health center at her University. They did a urinalysis and blood work. Found leukocytes in her urine and an elevated WBC. They ordered a ultrasound and xray of her kidney and found an abscess. They sent her away with oral pain medications and cipro. She returned to the student health center today and they hydrated her with 3 liters of fluid and gave her IV ceftriaxone. I m quite concerned.

Hello,
Yes the treatment given for the renal abscess is absolutely ok. Nothing to worry .
Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin and helps in combating the infections.
Fluids are to flush the bacterial infections.
Thank You
