Common Questions and Answers about Kidney infection high fever
infection
The vomiting stopped, but the high fever lasted. Fever was about 20 hours total, accompanied by chills and body aches like a mild flu. Kept temperature down with a dose of Aspirin & later a dose of Tylenol. Went to clinic, they did flu test which was negative, and said I didn't have strep, that it was likely just a virus. Next day, I feel 100% better...except I've urinated twice and it's dark brown and has an odor.
Hi, welcome to the forum, yes, kidney infection can be related to the pyelonephritis. Urinary tract infection can be due to infection involving any part from kidney to urethra. Infection may be pyelonephritis (involving upper urinary tract), urethritis, uretitis, cystitis (lower urinary tract) etc.

With fever and anemia, kidney should be reassessed for infection. Kidney infection cause anemia.

Do you still experience the fever and chills?

I have looked at symptoms of kidney infection and the only part that fits is the throbbing back pain. No fever, no nausea or vomiting, chills. I am fatigued, but I haven't been sleeping well because if the throbbing pain. I have been drinking plenty of fluids, cranberry juice and lots of water. I hate to waste the money on another doctor visit if they are just going to give me a muscle relaxer for back pain.
Hi,
My daughther is 19 months old and she had a double ureter on her left kidney and underwent corrective surgery 3 months ago. We only found this out because she had a very high fever for several days and we found out that it was a kidney infection. She's been on daily antibiotics all this time and on Monday, we went for a final post surgery check up. We were told the sonogram looked good and she was taken off the antibiotics.
It's possible you have a uti, bladder infection, or kidney stones. You really need to see a doctor to make sure your kidney's are doing ok asap. If you get a high fever go to the ER.
Just over a month ago I had got admitted to hospital with a high temperature, fever and flank pain. I had a kidney infection which spread to my blood stream which I then I was diagnosed with sepsis. I spent five days in the ICU, so all together, I was in hospital for twelve days. My diagnosis was pylonephritis, ARDS and sepsis. Over a month later I am still having a slight flank pain in my right kidney area (opposite one from last time) also I vomited blood the other night.
symptom, and they can test your urine for bacteria, etc, and they can run the whole blood test, check your thyroid, everything like that, the kidneys, etc.
ve finally been hospitalized with a kidney infection. The doctor said the good news is I caught it early despite none of the typical symptoms. She said the baby is fine but I can't help but worry. I'm here for a few more days connected to IV fluids and antibiotics. Has anyone else who's been through this have any advice for getting through it and making sure it doesn't happen again?
I went back to the urologist the next day to have the doctor prescribe stronger antibiotics and tylenol for the fever. My fever continued to rise. Several hours after I left the doctors office my temperature hit 102.7. I got very scared. I was also extremely constipated. Apparently a side effect of pain medication is constipation (at this point I hadn't done a number 2 in over a week). I went back to the er and they told me immediately that they were going to admit me.
