A member asked:

I have a uti and ive been taking keflex to treat it. went to the er yesterday for it. i feel worse today and have a fever now. started at 102.4 but now its 100.8. should i go back to the dr or get some rest for now? thank you?

I suspect your urine culture results are not back yet. Keflex should handle urinary bladder infections but not necessarily a kidney infection & that is why we need the urine culture,sensitivity& colony count results. If your fever spikes up, If you develop shaking chills or back pain, go back to the ER. Drink lots of fluids,take Tylenol.
