A member asked:
Is it common for a kidney & bladder infection to last more then 2 weeks when treated with antibiotics? also is pain in the urethra common ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Most bladder infections resolve in 3 days and kidney infections in one week. If problems persist you need further testing for complicating factors such as kidney stones or anatomical abnormalities. A referral to urologist to evaluate the urethra and the bladder may be in order.
