A member asked:

I have a kidney infection. when i lay on my side that is inflamed i get a burning sensation right in that area. is that normal or should i be worrie?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kidney infection: Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) generally causes fever, chills and very significant flank pain. One generally feels "sick". It is a systemic infection. Bladder infection (cystitis) rarely causes systemic symptoms. Discomfort in the pelvic area and irritative voiding symptoms are typical. It typically is a "localized" infection limited to the bladder.
