Hi,
Dark and cloudy urine is indicative for urinary tract infections. I suggest to run an urine analysis and abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation.
I also suggest to get evaluated by an ENT specialist to determine whether the swelling behind your left ear is an infected lymph-node due to ear infection or other underlying problems.
Until the results of tests are in, I strongly suggest to:
- drink more water
- take otc urine ph-alkalinizers (cranberry, magnesium/zinc citrate)
- take otc fern stone/rosa canina/uva-ursina tea
to ease your symptoms.
Rashes you are having could be related to SLE relapse for which should further evaluated with rheumatologist.
Wish fast recovery!
