A member asked:
I have right sided back/flank pain. how do i know when to go to the doctor for possible kidney infection or to wait it out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: In general, i would recommend that you see your doctor about this type of pain if it persists for more than a few days, is associated with nausea/vomiting, is accompanied by fever, or if the pain is severe despite over-the-counter pain killers like tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin.
