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?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Did she have any food from outside which might have been infected ? In that case it could be food poisoning and could be an onset of diarrhoea. However why does she think that it is a possible kidney infection ? Did she have a past history of kidney infection, or any urinary symptoms at present ? From the history of feeling comfortable on bending knees up to her chest, any chance of inflammation of the peritoneum has to be excluded, and all these possibilities could only be confirmed or excluded only by clinical examination by a general surgeon followed possibly by various investigations, and so you should see your doctor at the earliest. Wishing her an early recovery.
