Should I Go To The ER For Fever And Headache At The Base Of The Skull After Kidney Stone Removal?
This past month my kidney dr found a 13mm stone. After my last surgery I had started running a fever. I called their emergency number talked to the dr on call and he called in some antibiotics. I ve been running a fever for over a week. I have one day of antibiotics left. My fever is been running 104.8 is the highest it has gotten. I take a fever reducer it works for a little bit then right back up it goes. I have had a bad headache right at the base of my skull. Should I go to the er?

Hello,
Appropriate antibiotics are necessary. Blood and urine routine is necessary if fever lasts for more than 3 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
