do i have a kidney infection?

For about the past 3 weeks i had went pee and it had burned. I knew that was a uti. I never got treated for it i just drank water, cranberry juice and Gatorade. It still tingles when i pee and now i have pain in my back right side. I get dizzy and feel nauseas randomly. Could this be a kidney infection?

I've had 6 kidney infections which have led to me kidneys shutting down and preterm labor. Please go in now for both you and baby!

I'm 21 weeks and I've been to the ER 3x in the last 3 weeks from a UTI that went up to my kidneys...my back was in so much pain and i was so nauseous and sick couldn't keep my antibiotics down so it didn't help so then went back to the ER they did an ultrasound on baby and a kindney ultrasound and gave me Macrobid and forced myself to keep them babies down cause a kidney infection is way serious during pregnancy and I know a lot about them...please go to the ER if you haven't already before it gets worse

Go to the dr. Asap. A uti is not somthing to mess around with. My friend let her go way to far and ended up getting a kidney infection and let that go for to long and now her kidneys don't work right and has to take tons of meds for the rest of her life and is always at the dr. And er For it. You need an antibiotic. I hope you feel better soon.

Please go to the doctor asap.  UTI 's rarely go away on their own.  Untreated can become really dangerous kidney infections and leave you hospitilized.

This is nothing to mess around with,  Jessie. This can get much worse REALLY fast,  especially with you being pregnant.  

Go in to your doctor now or go to the ER.

That's what happened to me. You might just have a UTI... They'll just give you antibiotics to help with the bacteria growing.

You need antibiotics. Your rememdies only help to limit uti not cure it.
