Tiredness, Dizziness, Nausea, Vomiting. Diagnosed With Cholecystitis. Prescribed Ranitidine, Ondansetron. Help

Hello Dr. I have recently been diagnosed with cholecystitis was prescribed ranitidine, ondansteron (to prevent vomiting), meclizine, tramadol and baclofen, then went back to Dr. who then said I have a kidney infection, prescribed me cephalexin, 500mg 2Xday for 7 days which I just finished this AM. Now, I have pain in my pelvic region, bladder hurts to urinate....Symptoms I've been experiencing include tiredness, dizziness, nauseated and have vomited a few times,bloated feeling, swelling in facial area, right flank into back pain (intermittent, sometimes extremely painful, can't lay down on right side), lower back pain at times. IN a previous scan for a different health matter, It was revealed to me through my medical chart that I have a cyst on a kidney. Please give me your opinion on this dilemma. Thanks.

Hi ! The cyst in the kidney could just be a coincidental finding. However, seeing your present symptoms, you can go for a review ultrasound scan of your pelvis and abdomen. It seems that the urinary infection of yours is persisting even after taking a course of antibiotic which is an indication for going for a urine culture and sensitivity test. Cholecystitis is a different entity which needs evaluation and treatment separately, and this also could be a reason for your nausea, vomiting and bloated feeling. Please visit your family physician with your urine culture and sensitivity report for a review. Wishing you an early recovery.
