Hi, week of Christmas I had a kidney stone on left side, with a bacterial infection. took antibiotic for 7 days and seemed fine. was traveling and thought pain in back was because of being stuck in car to long, ended up in er after I basically collapsed at drs office, er said I was sepsis. iv antibiotics for 24 hrs and sent home. im am a week out taking augmentin and the pain in my back/kidney are is still pretty bad. is it possible im still sepsis? kidney infection? don t know what to do. went to dr day before yesterday and no one knows what happened how I got that way nd if its gone. I need help please
His think it will take time for you to completely get over your symptoms. Persistence of pain does not mean the infection is still there because other symptoms that will orientate to sepsis are not present. If I were your treating Doctor, I will add an anti-inflammatory pain medication like ibuprofen to augmenting and observe for some days. Also, you need to Chat Doctor. Wish you a speedy recovery
