My husband passed a kidney stone Friday night and has been battling a fever since. Tonight (this morning), he has had a bout of uncontrollable shivering and breathing that was like he was hyperventilating. He took some ibuprofen and has calmed down some. we just took his temperature and it was 104.6. He is planning on going to see his doctor when they are open. Should we go to the ER now or could the wait to go to his doctor a little later today?
Hello, Kidney stones can predispose you to urinary tract infection and that may be reason for high fever while suffering from kidney stones. You can go for a urine culture and start antibiotics according to the culture reports. Most cases respond well to antibiotics. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
