What Causes Discomfort In Kidney After Taking Amoxicillin?

3 days ago I was diagnosed with strep throat. The doctor I saw gave me 875 miligrams 2x a day of amoxicillin. I told the doctor I have one kidney and he said I should be ok. Now I feel a bit of discomfort in the kidney area, just wondering if that could be linked.

Hi,
No, as far as I have seen patients with one kidney on antibiotics, I don't think you would be having any problem,
What problem you have I think its just functional because your to much concerned about it,
And few days course will not effect you kidney,
Keep faith in your doctor keep calm be relax,
Hope this information helps.
