Question 1

the doctor told me i was passing a kidney stone and that if i were to have a fevor or pain to go back in cause it may be a sign of infection.temp 99.3?

Accepted Answer

Fever: This is often characterized as a body temperature that during a 24 hr period either reaches 100F or fails to get as low as 98.6F.  The temp of 99.3F you quote is normal.

Question 2

how long can it take for a big kidney stone to cause a kidney infection? a few days? a few weeks?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: And location. You might have it for years and not get any infection.

Question 3

what food that causes kidney stone or kidney infection + weight lost & hair ?

Accepted Answer

See below: One single food would not cause those symptoms.

Question 4

can hydronephrosis and kidney infection caused by a kidney stone blockage of the ureter cause hypotension?

Accepted Answer

IF there is: Obstruction this is a high risk situation for development of infection.  A serious infection could cause low blood pressure.  The other possibility is low blood pressure related to pain medication for the stone.

Question 5

could a kidney infection that was not treated until day 3 have scarred the kidneys and cause eventual kidney stone formation?  if bloodwork and cmp are normal, is that good news probably no damage?

Accepted Answer

: Delay in treatment of a documented "kidney infection" by "3 days" should not result in adverse effects on the kidney(s).  Many people mislabel a simple urinary tract infection for a "kidney infection".  A true "kidney infection" will have more defined symptoms and lab work will be usually abnormal.

Question 6

i've never had an issue taking percocet,i have them for a kidney stone/infection. now it's made me nauseous. should i stop taking them?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Narcotic pain medications can often cause/result in nausea if taken on an empty stomach.  Best to use the minimal amount to control pain and also to take with some food.  If nausea continues, talk to your doctor about alternative options.

Question 7

i have globus sensation for about a week now.i want to know if it could be corona although i have no other symptoms of corona.  i also have kidney stone and kidney infection?

Accepted Answer

COVID 19 concerns: Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms:  temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. If you only have this one symptom - it is less likely that the cause is COVID 19.

Question 8

i have a kidney stone (5mm) in my bladder. i feel like i have to pee all the time but only go a little but it isn't a bladder infection. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Stone: It's unlikely that a 5 mm stone would remain in a 21-year-old female's bladder for very long.  It's much more likely that the stone is lodged in the distal ureter creating bladder symptoms.  If you've not already done so, i would recommend you see a urologist.

Question 9

what is worse a kidney stone or a kidney infection?

Accepted Answer

Comparative severity: Both are nobody's idea of fun. Kidney stones can result in secondary uti. Kidney infections often require long periods of antibiotic therapy and can potentially produce severe damage. Depending on the cause of stones they can represent disease elsewhere (i.e., hyperparathyroidism, etc.). Would not rate them since both are potentially severe.

Question 10

anyone experienced kidney stone associated with urine infection; how commonly does that occur?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: One may experience vague abdominal discomfort which may progress to being more persistent. Kidney stones are evaluated with urine tests, ultrasound or ct scan. Stones can be a breeding ground for recurring infections.
