I have a kidney and blader infection and the antibiotics are not working.  I keep feeling light headed and just over all not right until my nose starts to bleed.  And it bleeds alot.  The right lumbar region of my back is in excrucitating pain when i stand up.  I have finished my antibiotics and have started drinking only cranberry juice and water.  What should i do?
Hi, Pain in lumber region and kidney infection is suggestive of renal colic(kidney stone) which get infected. In these cases I advise my patients to go for USG PUB to rule out any stone. Antibiotic will be of some help but will be not cure the pain and infection properly. Taking heavy doses of antibiotic without knowing the actual cause will be of no use and nose bleeding might be the side effect of it. I'll advise you to go for complete clinical examination, USG PUB and urine examination after consulting a local nephrologist. Do consider positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
