yes, your mom would be hurt if she did not know.  It is most likely
an infection and a doctor can tell just with a urine sample and
you may not even need a scan.  Most of the time the things we
worry about aren't as big as we think they are!

However a kidney infection ignored can make your petty sick and
cost your mom more worry and heartache in the long run!
