A member asked:

Can amoxicillin treat kidney infection/stones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: Urinary tract infections can sometimes be treated successfully by amoxicillin, if the causative organism is sensitive to this antibiotic. Usually other antibiotics are better. No antibiotic, including amoxicillin, can treat kidney stones.
