i have a doctors appointment in 5 days for a uti (painful urination, frqnt peeing, vaginal odor)but now theres blood in my urine, should i go sooner?

Question

Can an URI bring on a uri? I've had an URI for a few days, then saw the doctor yesterday for a painful uti. Initial urine workup showed a large amount of wbc's and blood in my urine. If both infections are bacterial in origin, did one bring on the other?

Answer 1

Yes: Sounds like cystitis. I would always suggest an appointment earlier rather than later as waiting could allow a worse infection. You could be nearly over the infection in 5 days with proper treatment.

Answer 2

Definitely yes: You need to have a urinalysis & urine culture now and then start on an antibiotic, which needs to be prescribed by your dr. Covering dr. Or er dr, asap. You should not wait. Dr's scheduling receptionist could not have understood your need for an urgent appointment. Good luck.

Answer 3

See your doctor: These extra symptoms are just more severe migraines. Migraines are the body's warning system. Something is stressing you that is making your migraines more complex. You may have infection, allergic reaction, toxic reaction to food or drug, or some emotional crisis. You need a good medical checkup.

Answer 4

Vague: Your symptoms are a concern, especially if the symptoms have persisted for awhile. I would see a doctor asap.

Answer 5

Get tested: If you have high risk sexual behavior or use IV illicit drugs, get tested. Don't wait for symptoms because you might not have them until really late. Only one lymph node is not very dangerous but i would have a consultation with the physician to be on the safe side.

Answer 6

You have alot: Going on so instead of speculating what you may or may not have a complete history. Physical and bloodwork is in order with an internist.

Answer 7

Monitoring Centers: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts. They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react. They shrink when all is well.

Answer 8

Maybe: A blood pregnancy test would be a good idea, ? Bladder infection. Maybe your period is about to start.

Answer 9

HPT: Don't know how long your cycle is. Has it been at least 14 days since sexual intercourse. If you took pregnancy test right at time of missed period, consider another one. If has been at least a week or more since missed period is is most likely accurate.

Answer 10

Numb the mouth: Anything that will decrease the pain in the mouth will help her drink. Ice cold foods act as a local anesthesia as they numb the area. Try popsicles, ice cream, jello, as well as pedialyte popsicles that will keep her hydrated. Also oragel will help. As it is a viral disease, there is no antibiotics that will help it. It will go away on its own.

Answer 11

None: Although it is uncomfortable hand, foot and mouth disease is typical benign and fairly brief in duration.

Answer 12

Rheumatoid: She should be seen by a rheumatologist and placed on the appropriate medications pain medication and anti-inflammatory medication. Physical therapy may or may not be part of the treatment as well.

Answer 13

Need Rheumatologist: A good rheumatologist can do a thorough history and exam recommend the proper treatment (e.g. Meds, injections, surgery...).
