Low Temperature. Abdominal Pain, Cramping, Diarrhoea. Possibility Of Kidney Infection. Ask A Doctor?
My daughter- in-law e- mailed me today to say that she is running a low- Temp. of 95.7( oral) Has abdominal pain, cramping, and it feels like the onset of diarrhea. She is concerned about a possible kidney infection. She says that the only way she can get comfortable is to lay on her bed and pull her knees up to her chest. I have recomended that she go see her Dr. , Would you have any other ideas?

Hi
Thanks for the query.
From the description of the symptoms it looks more like colitis than diarrhoea.
We need to do some tests like a CBC, urine analysis and if needed an abdominal ultrasound to determine the exact cause.
So its best that she sees a physician as soon as possible.
Hope this helps
Good luck
