Hi, this is the 5th day I have a very high fever (40°), I vomit , when I stand up I feel like fainting . Sometimes I even shake and I m freezing even though I have this high temperature. I have blood in my urine.Yesterday the doctor told me it s a right kidney infection, he gave me pills, told that I have to drink gallons of water.

Hi, many thanks for the query!
You need to do- CBC, RFT, Urine (Culture & Microscopy),
Random blood sugar level, USG KUB.
You haven't mentioned your age.
Start appropriate antibiotic as per report, take antispasmodics, anti-emetics, diuretics with your Urologist's opinion.
Not gallons but drink water so that at least 2 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs.
If diabetic, blood sugar levels must be in good control.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
