Hi AAAA,
Thanks for posting your query.
Most probably there are two possibilities-
First is urinary tract infection that will be subsided after taking antibiotics.
Second one is ureteric stones, in that case pain will not subside & you would have to consult your doctor again for further investigations like ultrasound whole abdomen.
I hope your query has been answered.I will be available for your further queries.
