Metallic Taste And Dryness In Mouth, Frequent Urination And Back Pain. History Of Endometriosis And Kidney Stones
My wife has had a metallic taste and dry mouth for a few days. She went to the doctor and thought her endometriosis was back because she has had a bad pain on lower right side and back. She has been drinking more than enough water but every time she drinks anything she has to urinate too frequently. When she does urinate it is very little at a time, but a lot of times! About 10 months ago she was very sick and the doctor said her right kidney was inflamed and she had kidney stones. Should I take her to ER or wait until Monday. The taste, frequent urination, and back pain are really bothering her, but she doesnt know what to do.

Hi, the symptoms you are describing are pointing towards the urinary tract infection, or a stone in the lower part of the ureter near the bladder. If the pain is more you can consult the doctor immediately, or else you can wait for few days.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe cefixime, alkaline citrate, and dicyclomine hydrochloride when there is pain. Thank you.
