A member asked:

I have been taking cipro (ciprofloxacin) for 3 days for a uti. and i have no improvement and my kidney now hurts. what should i do? i feel awful

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Was a culture done?: A culture should be done to document sensitivity. If you are experiencing flank pan, a sonogram should be done to look for obstruction, stones, signs of pyelonephritis. You need face to face evaluation
