I have just been to Vegas and Mexico and I came back last weds. Fri I was really hot, sat I just didn t feel right and about 8pm I was shaking violently to keep warm.then I got so hot I had to strip off. Sunday I felt a bit better and went out for tea couldn t eat anything and by the time I got back I had yellow frothy dhiarohea.i had the violent shakes again that nite.mon went to docs and she said I have kidney infection and prescribed penicillin. I still have stomach noises and the dhiarohea is pouring out of me after drinking.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this may not be kidney infection because you do not have any renal symptoms that could prove kidney infection but this could be more look like intestinal infection could be because of water born organism might be due to travelling, most of the time this is self limiting and hydration is the matters only, if this does not come around then you can try "Tab Doxycycline 100 mg twice in day for 5 days" take care.
I find this answer helpful
