Kidney infection have I been stupid?

[rosiejug]

So I was diagnosed with a kidney infection last week and given 7 days of strong ABs. After sleeping arojnd the clock for two days I felt better and saw my boyfriend last night. Had wine and a lot of dehydrating sex (ahem). And today feel ok generally but my god my back is sore - under ribs like muscle ache.

Have taken rehydration sachet and ibuprofen- have I damaged myself? My temp is fine. It's just the ache:

Feel very stupid. Have always struggles with UTIs. It's just beyond a joke how much this affects me.

Bump

I'd keep an eye on that. I got a really bad infection that started going septic and the first sign of it was terrible backache.

If your temperature is normal, that's a good sign. But I'd be taking it every few hours to make sure.

You say you have always struggled with UTI’s have you had a full STD screen? Sometimes recurrent UTI’s can be masking a STD.

But is that poss if I've already had three days of very strong antibiotics?

What the flip is dehydrating sex?!

You had wine whilst taking ABs - why? Especially if you're prone to infections. Please start looking after yourself

I need to know this also!

Me too!!

I think she must be a massive squirter. Ewwww

Don't worry, keep taking your antibiotics and drinking plenty of water. Lingering kidney ache is typically normal for a few days following infection, particularly if you've not drank enough and been active. I doubt you've caused any extra damage by having sex. See how you get on - just watch for developing fever and flu like symptoms and whatnot, be straight on to the doc if symptoms worsen.
Ibuprofen is also not recommended with a kidney infection, paracetamol is fine though.

(Not a medic, just lots of experience with sodding kidney infections)

asking for medical opinion not judgment rhanks!

@Wiii What would even be ewww about that? Grow up mate.

Hope it was a top shag OP

At it for hours didn't have time for a drink 😂😂

Oh it was! And I’m fine. Doc reckoned it was muscular hahahahha

Ibuprofen is not good for kidneys. Get another test done and probably need more treatment.

@rosiejug I know the threads a few weeks old & hopefully you're better. You might want to check with your doctor about ibuprofen.

I have a kidney problem & regularly get infections. I'm not allowed to take ibuprofen at all.
