Cystitis & kidney infection
Painful urination, frequency & fever
Infection may involve the bladder or kidneys. Fever and flank/back pain can indicate a more serious infection needing prompt assessment.

Symptoms, urine testing/culture and sometimes blood tests guide treatment, including antibiotics when indicated.
Visits & recovery
Medicine and duration depend on diagnosis. Follow the prescribed course and reassess recurrent symptoms.
Risks & considerations
Do not wait for a routine appointment with fever, chills, severe back pain or inability to drink. Do not reuse leftover antibiotics.
Fees at a glance
