Should I See A Doctor Or Be Worried About Upper UTI And Kidney Damage?
I have recurring UTIs and recently was bed-ridden with extreme dizziness and vomiting for a day and a half. It wore off and I assumed it was a flu virus but now I have realized this could be symptoms of a UTI. I still feel tired and bit feverish although no real pain urinating, possibly slight odour but it has happened so often I'm not sure now. I was on a low dose antibiotic for 3 months which I finished a few weeks ago. Should I see a doctor or be worried about an upper UTI and kidney damage?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Well your concern is understandable.
As an Urologist, let me assure you not to worry.
But, you must see your doctor for an examination. Your urine routine and culture test, blood sugar, blood routine and kidney function test, and an ultrasound scan of abdomen must be done.
According to the reports, the doctor will be able to advise the proper treatment.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
