A member asked:

I keep getting utis i've been on antibiotics sense aug. my kidney throbs what can i do. i'm miserable. could it be something else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This sounds: highly unusual, to have uti for 4 months. Consult with a urologist, because you might have an anatomical abnormality that requires correction. And, yes, infection can spread to your kidneys, with pain and high fevers, unless infection is eradicated.
