Whats the treatment for a bad kidney infection?
Your first step would be to call your nurse or go to the doctor. I’m wondering if you possibly had a urinary tract infection and then it turned into a kidney infection? You need to drink a lot of fluids, but even better would be lots of water. It may be possible that you have a kidney stone as well. The doctor may have you hospitalized if it is really bad. I had a horrible UTI that turned into a kidney infection and the doctor gave me pills that relieve the pain when you pass uring (similar to the AZO pills)…they turn your urine reddish orange…and some antibiotics. If you seem to have reoccuring UTIs or kidney infections, you might want to think about having a cystoscopy. It is an easy procedure where a camera is threaded inside of the urethra (it’s numbed via numbing gel) and a camera looks to see if there are any tears or abnormalities in the bladder and/or kidneys. When in doubt, get it checked out! The longer you wait without any treatment, the worse it will get.
