My younger sister has been having a lot of back pain and fever for the past two days. The doctor suspects a kidney infection after some initial tests. We're waiting for further reports, but I wanted to know what type of antibiotics are typically prescribed for this condition.

When I go for any treatment, I ask the doctors at the hospital to explain the exact prescription. For kidney infections, they usually prescribe drugs like Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin. Please consult a qualified doctor at a good clinic to get the right medicine for your specific case.

I hear that Cipro is very common for this, but does anyone else get really scared of taking such strong antibiotics? I always worry about how it will affect my stomach. I hope you find the right safe treatment soon.

Actually, you usually need strong stuff like Ciprofloxacin or Ceftriaxone for kidney issues, yaar. Don't try to self-treat this at home because kidney infections are no joke. Better to visit a doc today itself.

I agree with everyone recommending proper medical care. Usually, doctors prescribe fluoroquinolones, but a quick urine test is a must before starting.

Please do not take any random antibiotic on your own. I had a kidney infection that got worse and spread because I took the wrong over-the-counter medicine, which led to severe complications. Go to a hospital and get a proper prescription.

I am not very familiar with this, but I read that Ciprofloxacin is often used. Does anyone know if these antibiotics have a lot of side effects? I am trying to learn more about how kidney infections are normally treated.

When my sister had a kidney infection, the doctor put her on a course of Levofloxacin which worked well for her. I cannot suggest what you should take, so please get a proper diagnosis from a physician.
