Hi thanks for asking question.

During kidney infection USG and Urine examination done.
If pus fells and bacteria present in urine then along with USG mostly it could be pyelonephritis.

Antibiotic needed for 10 to 14 days for kidney infection.

If investigation suggest glomerulonephritis like condition then investigated and treated accordingly.

If you gave repeat infection rule out diabetes and AIDS mainly.

During kidney infection yes doctor can advise you bed rest and you are eligible for taking sick leave if needed by doctor...

I hope your concern solved..

Take care...
