A member asked:
I am in the hospital right now with a severe kidney infection. the only medication that helps the flank pain makes me itch terribly. what is the max?

Ask your doctor ...: You should ask the attending doctor who is treating you because s/he knows more about your individual conditions than anyone online. Severe itch may be a sign of drug allergy, and the doctors will periodically, at least once daily, reassess your clinical response so to adjust treatment as needed.
