| Re: Kidney infection or urinary track infection?
It depends on what's wrong. If it's a kidney stone, you will need to be seen in the ER and at the very least be given I.V. fluids, pain medication, antibiotics, and CAT Scanned to see if there is a blockage in your urinary tract. If it's an infection, then you will need antibiotics. Either way, you need to be checked out. My advice would be to go back to the hospital and check into the ER since the pain has progressively worsened. I have a LONG history of kidney stones and if that is what is wrong, the pain will only get worse, followed by nausea and vomiting. Read my post "newbie here---but Extremely familiar with kidney stones"....It's on this page, towards the bottom.
There is something you can buy over the counter called AZO standard. It will help with the burning sensation, but that's all. It will also make your urine an orange color, so don't be alarmed by this. Please, just go to the ER, ok?? They will tell you what's wrong and make you feel better. Please keep me updated, ok?? Good luck and I hope you feel better.
