Hello,
The symptoms you are explaining may be related to kidney infection and this can cause the back pain too.
He may need to do an uroculture to check the antibiotics which can be used for this infection. In our clinic, we prefer to use Ceftriaxone injections in this case. Also using ibuprofen for fever and pain is advisable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
