See urologist ASAP: Need new pregnancy safe antibiotics possibly by IV route. Also hydronephrosis needs to decompressed by jj stent or percutaneous nephrostomy. Antibiotic suppressive therapy needs to be changed as bacteria responsible for uti/pyelonephritis is likely is likely resistant to antibiotic u r taking. Please do not wait until tomorrow. Good luck & please let us know you get on.

See your MD now: You need to see your doctor again. It sounds like you have acute pyelonephritis with a bacteria that is resistant to the antibiotic you are taking for suppression. You need a urinalysis, urine culture and renal ultrasound. It sounds like you need to be started on a different antibiotic.
