Does Koch's Disease Cause High Temeperature And Abdominal Pain?

my son was diagnosed with primary koch"s infection few days ago. Now he's having a high fever and complaining of abdominal pain. So i decided to have his urine testeda nd the result shows 0-4 WBC (Pus cells) and 0-2 RBC , bacteria-occasional , epithilial cells-occasional, mucus threads-few. amorphous urates-moderate. What does this mean , and does the abdominal pain is due to the pus cells in the urine? is he having UTI? or does the lung infection has something to do with the abdominal pain ang the high fever? his pedia schedule is still tomorrow , do i need to rush him to ER if the fever does not subside? please advise..thank you...

hello..
kochs diagnosed few days ago generally doesn't cause abdomen pain..
it is mild urine infection..
pain exact location..?did you get a any blood investigation done..?does he have tenderness?
fever with chills?
i would advise to get checkup as early as possible..because there can be some causes which need immediate attention..
i would advise a blood test and USG of abdomen..followed by a course of antibiotics and other medications..
if pain is severe and looks dehydrated take him to the ER..
if you have any problem you can message me..
I find this answer helpful
