See a doc: If you are having fever, chills and other flu-like symptoms after a bladder infection, it is possible that the infection has spread to our kidneys and bloodstream. You really need to be seen by a doctor and get this treated. Once an infection gets in the bloodstream its way more serious then a simple bladder infection.

Bladder infection: Needs medical attention. If you have the flu hydrate well w water, herbal teas, soup or juice. Drink sufficiently to have pale to light yellow urine. You can use pain relievers like tylenol (acetaminophen) or nsaid’s. Rest a lot! in some situations antiviral medications (tamiflu, relenza, flumadine) may be prescribed within the first couple of days of symptoms to hasten healing. Get well soon.
