What causes dull pain in back near the kidney?
Patient: Hi Iam having a back pain from a week, So I thought it as a normal pain,from past 3 days I could feel that it is not back pain but actually my kidney is paining a bit.I unable to concentrate on my work because i feel that I am a bit dull , a bit fever and body pains as well, What to do?? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing in to us.It is important that you consult a doctor and get an ultrasound scan done immediately. Fever, pain and discomfort in the kidney area can be due to many conditions including that involving kidneys. Any associated fever is a sign of infection and inflammation and must be treated at the earliest. As you have not mentioned the side, it is difficult to discuss all possibilities but if it is on the right side, a gall bladder or liver problem must also be considered.Please take paracetamol 500 mg every 6 hours after food to control fever and body ache till you consult your doctor. Please do not delay more than 24 hours to meet your doctor.
