Kidney Infection

kidneys.\]] i have a kidney infection. my dr prescribed nitrofur mac 100mg. i heard this is for bladder infection. will this also help the kidneys? I have pain in my back ,and i am having trouble urinating. and is there something better to take for my kidneys? ## Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of infections, including the one you have.

I have a severe kidney infection, and testing was done ie: xray, ultra sound, to determine if anything worse is going on, but I do not have a doctor's appointment for the results for 1 week. Is this medicine safe for my kidney ? I was prescribed a generic at 100 mg. I am a little concerned about some of the warnings ## Have you contacted your doctor about your concerns? This contains the active ingredient Nitrofurantoin, which is an antibiotic. The current warnings about renal function are actually not conclusive and, if you do have a severe infection, not taking the antibiotic to treat it could be much worse than the possible dangers of using it.

I recently had a UTI and was given Bactrim for three days and felt better. It's been almost a week and I suddenly have the symptoms back long with lower back pain. Seeing that it is almost 7:30 pm on a Sunday, I will have to wait until tomorrow morning to call and go in and see the doctor. The doctor was pleased that I stopped taking Phenazopyridine two days before going in for the urine culture to detect the UTI. Will Phenazopyridine interfere with diagnostics for a kidney infection? I would love to be able to relieve some of my symptoms before morning, but I will not if it means they will not get the proper results for the diagnostics they need. ## The only warning I've found on anything like this has to do with it interfering with urinary diagnostics for diabetics, although y...

I am a diabetic currently experiencing cellulitis in my legs with possible infection from the open ulcers. This I believe is the cause for recent, severe pain in my right kidney. I am asking can I use my pain pills Hydrocodon-Acetaminophen5-325 safely to combat both the pain and possible infection? ## Hello, Starace! How are you? This medication will only help with pain, there is nothing in it to help combat an infection, for that you need to see your doctor to have an antibiotic prescribed. The FDA classifies Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I got hot wax spilled on me from one of those wax burners that you plug in and makes your house smell amazing. Well it has burned my skin pretty bad in a few different spots causing bleeding, scabing and greenish/yellow nasty odor discharge. I have been cleaning it with peroxide and putting triple antibiotic cream but have some leftover and a refill for more of these h49 pills. Will they help with the skin infection to get better and not worse? ## To be honest, while the antibiotic may help, it is really time to see your doctor. While I'm fairly certain an antibiotic may help, there's a chance that you don't have enough to full eradicate this infection. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarr...

If I'm taking apo-sulfatrim or sulfamethoxazole would it be a bad idea to take an imodium advance for my diarrhea symptoms? ## Apo-Sulfatrim actually contains 2 ingredients, Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim and no, I didn't find any interactions listed between it and the Loperamide in Imodium. However, you should double check this information to be certain. Learn more Apo-Sulfatrim details here. Learn more Imodium Advanced details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm a type 2 diabetic. I take tradjenta met for men and glibizide. My tester says my blood sugars are acceptable in the 109 to 130 range but my a1c was high so my Dr upped my glibizide to twice a day and left everything else the same. I think the tradjenta is 5mg the met for men is 1000 and my glibizide is 5. My issue is my private parts, I'm a guy and I got a yeast infection. I kinda "dribble" after I go to bathroom. Why I don't know, prostate maybe, but the yeast is caused by my kidneys passing the extra sugar through my urine. Does this drug or any of the others cause this? Please help. I'm itching to death here guys. ## Hello, James! How are you? Has your doctor verified that it's a yeast infection? Dribbling like that is more often a sign of a urinary tr...
