My mom is 70, has had stomach upset ( diarrhea ), low energy, little appetite (although certain foods sound good, she can only eat a few bites at a time)...her doctor said she has a kidney infection and she s been on antibiotics and vitamin D for about four days. The symptoms have been present about 12 days. We aren t convinced it is just a kidney infection. Anything else we should be screening for?
Hi, many thanks for the query! Well, everything that is going on is ok, diarrhea may be as a side effect of medicines that you are taking, just do stool (culture & sensitivity). Also, get USG (Abdo-Pelvis) & RFT done. Change antibiotics as per the report of culture & sensitivity if needed with your doctors' opinion. Chat Doctor. Wish you a good health. Take care. Regards.
