Question : Can you feel dizzy, nausea and have vomiting with a basic UTI or is it more serious like a Kidney Infection?

Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

I hope you have been seen by your doctor and then diagnosed to have UTI.

Basically due to any infection any where in the body you can have weakness, some form of dizziness at times. This is a part of generalized weakness due to illness.

Nausea and vomiting may be due to illness it self or the drugs given for it.

In case the symptoms are mild there is nothing to worry about.

Please do following which should help:

>Drink plenty of fluids.Jello can be helpful.
>Take light diet. Take small frequent meals.
>Take proper rest
>Take medicines regularly.

In case the problem worsens please talk to your doctor.

Most of the cases of UTI can be treated effectively without any complications like kidney infection etc.

Just mere by presence of this aliments one can not say that you are having some serious infection.

Please do not worry, complete the course as advised and keep regular follow up.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to ask again if you have something more to ask.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
