I Am Getting Kidney Pain Even After Taking Of Cipro

I m a 24 year old female. Have never had a kidney infection before so I m not sure what the pain actually feels like. My doctor said I have a kidney infection. Took cipro for 10 days. Pain in my sides and back didn t stop until around day 8. Then pains have come back after a week. On cipro again but pain is still there. Should I go to er?

Hi,Carmon,
Thanks for query,
As you have got kidney infection often, you require investigations.
Go for urine and blood check up.
Go for ultra sound.
After reports go for treatment accordingly.
Take plenty of water.
Avoid fried and junk food.
Ok and bye.

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Recurrence of the infection would be due to renal calculi.

I suggest you to consult a Urologist.

X-ray KUB region would recognize calculi in urinary system.

Treatment would be planned according to the size and location of calculus.

Also always drink plenty of water.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
