To wonder if I should ring GP again?

Firstly, my apologies as this is probably a stupid question but there we go!

Last Mon I went to my GP having suffered over the weekend with aching around the kidney area which then spread into my sides. GP gave a week long antibiotic which I have taken (and now finished).

Over the week, I have at times felt very sick and been sick maybe two or three times.

The pain I was having had eased a lot but I can still feel a couple of minor twinges. Got up this morning feeling very sick again and sweating buckets (sorry tmi! )I have come to work and still feel absolutely baking Sad

I am otherwise healthy.

Wwyd - can't decide whether to ring again or wait a day or so. I don't want to mither and take up time unnecessarily but I would have thought I would feel better by now?

I would ring, you may need a longer dose. Hope you feel better soon

Ring again

Ring again. Kidney infection is not something you want to watch and wait with.

Just call and get an appt.
Was your urine sent off for analysis?
What antibiotics were they?
You might not have been in the right antibiotics.
Also some antibiotics can make you feel sick or vomit too.

That does not sound pleasant. Personally I wouldn't muck about and would get that checked again.

I have called again and I am waiting for the doctor to ring me back.

The antibiotic was a 7 day course of nitrofurantoin.

They did send a sample off but not heard anything back -it was very late afternoon urine though so may have affected it.

Hoping they ring back soon.
