A kidney infection is a serious medical condition that requires prompt treatment. Some of the most common symptoms of a kidney infection include fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and pain in the back or side.
If you suspect that you have a kidney infection, see your doctor right away for diagnosis and treatment. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and plenty of rest. In some cases, hospitalization may be required. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids to help flush the bacteria from your system.
