Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have pain in Rt loin with presence of protein in urine.

This is most likely to be due to UTI associated with stone in kidney.

However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination and following tests.
1) Urine routine and urine culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of the abdomen .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

In the mean while take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefotaxime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.and later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Thanks
Dr.Patil.
