Kidney infection and treatment

[kbj641]

My mother had a kidney infection recently. She is 67 yrs old. Dr gave Ciprofloxacn. Not taking for the last 4 days. All the symptoms are gone except she has fatigue extremely and loss of appetite. Is this normal or not. Thanks

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Please do not discontinue antibiotics as the organisms causing the infection may develop resistance to the medication. Her symptoms could also be due to the on going infection. Now, have a culture and sensitivity test done to find out the correct antibiotic that the infecting organism is sensitive to and taking this medication for the required amount of days may help to clear urinary tract infection

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I'd check in with the doctor and make sure she is getting better.  I know Cipro makes me feel terrible.
