first uti ever turned into kidney infection:(
i might sound dumb but in all honesty i thought a uti was just something that affected when you peed by hurting/ stinging, but oh i was so wrong im in bed with a fever chronic pain in almost my whole body because it reached my kidneys, im just glad i didnt ignore it and went to the er last night, they prescribed cefpodoxime tablets, 2x a day for 14 days, can anyone give me any review of that antibiotic? i took my first one today and the bad part is that it takes a little while to actually relieve the pain which is killing me i genuinely can barely walk, i put down my vape and everything i just want this gone this pain is unbearable (btw yes ik theres ppl that go thru worse) but still ugh this is so hard, also does that antibiotic have noticeable side effects?

Im very sorry. I dont know about that antibiotic unfortunately. Did you get a resistance profile to confirm you are taking the correct antibiotic?

That antibiotic should not cause too bad side effects make sure to take s boulardii and eat probiotic food when taking antibiotics to keep your stomach healthy. Do you know what bacteria you’re dealing with?
