A member asked:
Is it normal to have a fever and chills after starting antibiotics for a uti?

Maybe: Too many ifs in this question. You may be seeing inflammatory changes from an infection which the antibiotics are just beginning to control, you may not be getting the correct antibiotic, the urinary tract infection may have reached a stage where it requires more than antibiotics, etc. Go back and see your doctor if not better fairly quickly.
