Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

May I know which antibiotic you are taking for kidney infection? The actual problem with taking antibiotics and pill is that the efficacy of pill is reduced by the antibiotics. So that your contraception may fail, but this doesn't happen with all antibiotics, only a few. The usual antibiotics given for kidney infections usually do not affect the pills. You can proceed to take your antibiotic course. Be cautious that emergency pill is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy always.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Susmitha Chandragiri
