A member asked:
Acute pyelonephritis sucks! im in so much pain! any advice on how to flush the kidneys?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drink fluids: Other than drinking fluids, flushing the kidneys would not be as helpful as getting you on the right antibiotic if you have a kidney infection. If you are on the right antibiotic, the pain should go away rather quickly- a day or two. If it still hurts, a doctor needs to re-evaluate you.
