Sunday Morning I woke with a fever of about 102 degrees. My throat was soar, and my head hurt. i did not worry too much, just thought i was coming down with a cold, or sinus infection. since then, the fever never subsided, and my throat became more soar. i saw a nurse practitioner yesterday. i told her that i had frequent urinary tract infections, and several kidney infections. i had noticed an increase of trips to the restroom to urinate, and it seemed to have an odor. but it didn't seem as if i had a uti. she dipped my urine, and said that it had alot of blood (not visible to without microscope) but had no puss (white cells). she really didn't know what the problem was. they also cultured my throat, and it came up negative to strep. so now i am very worried after reading all about this bladder cancer. I am a 24 female with two children, and have only been with one man.
The Nurse Practioner put me on two different antibiotics; Ceftin 250mg and entex pse.
Should i be seeking the advice of a urologist as apposed to a N.P.? I am very worried. Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Laura
