What Causes Back Pain Post During Kidney Infection?
Hello, I was diagnosed as having a kidney infection (Pyelonephritis) in my left kidney 11 days ago. I was in the hospital for one day due to my fever and condition. After being released I was put on a 7 day antibiotic plan and finished the antibiotics yesterday. I am once again feeling pain in my back and the left part of my stomach. Could the infection still be present, or does it take time for me to start feeling better?

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
If you are feeling better than when you were admitted then I would say that you just need to let your body heal and rest for 2 more weeks. If ÿou feel,like you are getting worse then a follow up checkup with your doctor is prudent. He may have to do a urinalysis to check the status of your infection. Your infection might be resistant to your current antibiotic and needs to be changed. Make sure you are consuming a lot of fluids and urinating well.
