How Should Fever With Sweating Be Treated?

Son is 26yrs old, and caught a cold/flu? friday night. sunday night we took him to the hospital to find out he had kidney stones. they gave him pain medication and today we saw his regular doctor who gave him antibiotics for his cold. However he has had a persistant fever that goes away and returns. After the fever has gone down he sweats enormously, sheets and blankets are left soaked? Should we be worried? is there something we can do that will make the fever go away?

Hello,
As per your description, your son might be suffering from Urinary Tract Infection. As he developed fever with rigor followed by sweating along with stone in kidney. So he may have infection in urine that causes fever. First of all, get some tests done to confirm like Urine routine microscopy with Urine culture sensitivity. Along with that kindly rule out other causes of fever like Malaria and Typhoid.
According to report, treat the patient with proper antibiotics. If it's UTI then better you start Tab Nitrofurantoin 100 mg twice a day with Crocin 650 mg sos for 7 days.
And for renal stone, don't be panic. If stone size is less than 10 mm then better treat conservatively and give plenty of water. If more than 10 mm size, then contact Urologist for further management.

Thank you
