how long does pain associated with kidney infection last after starting treatment and how server can it get?

Question: my girlfriend has a kidney infection. she has just finished her fourth day of antibiotics. last night she had some of her worst pain associated. her doc is concerned due to the level of infection. her diagnosis also included blood stream infection. she will have her second opintions results today of yesterdays test.

Answers:
It should go away in just a few days have her drink a glass a day of cranberry juice it will help balance the PH of the urine and really help to clear up the infection. In the mean time i would call the DR back if she doesn't have any relief soon then maybe he needs to change her meds.

It all depends on how severe the infection is. If it is getting worse, and not better, then the antibiotics may not be working, suggest to her md that she take a stronger antibiotic.
