A member asked:

How long should rocephen iv treatment last for a perinephric abscess? is it normal to still have some flank tenderness after 4 weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: Was the abscess drained? What was the organism and was it sensitive to the antibiotic? Do you have a drain in place? Call your urologist and ask these questions. They know more about the course of your illness. Good luck. Get better.
