Antibiotic Treatment: Kidney bacterial infections require antibiotic treatment. Most common symptoms can include pain with urination, frequency, hesitation, back or abdominal pain, fever, nausea and cloudy, bloody or foul-smelling urine. Chronic or untreated infections can damage kidneys. Diagnosis requires urinalysis and urine culture.

What symptoms: Need more information about your symptoms. Do you have your urinary frequency, urgency or pain with urination. If so these could be consistent with bladder or urinary tract infection. If positive this can be treated with a course of antibiotics usually seven to ten days.
