hi,

Pain in lumber region and kidney infection is suggestive of renal colic(kidney stone) which get infected. In these cases i advise my patients to go for USG KUB to rule out any stone. Antibiotic will be of some help but will be not cure the pain and infection properly. Taking heavy doses of antibiotic without knowing the actual cause will be of no use and nose bleeding might be the side effect of it. I'll advise you to go for complete clinical examination, USG KUB and urine examination after consulting a local nephrologist.
