Suggest treatment for kidney infection
Patient: I had what the Dr. thought was a Kidney Infection , one week ago and was on an antiobodic and pain pills for 6 days,  yesterday noon and this am. the pain is back with a vengance , could this be a Kidney Stone or Gal Bladder??  Waiting for a call back from my nurse. Doctor: Hello,Pain in the abdomen can be due to stones in the kidney or gall stones, or could be due to some other lesion in the organ. It can be confirmed by doing an ultrasound scan. If the pain is due to gall stones, it needs to be operated and removed surgically by a procedure called 'cholecystectomy.' If the pain is due to kidney stones, it can be treated by undergoing a procedure called lithotripsy. If it is due to some other organ, then it needs to be treated accordingly. Kindly consult a surgeon with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Ashakiran S
