Pyelonephritis

Posted by Jazzdong @jazzdong, Jul 4, 2016

I was diagnosed with pyelonephritis last month and stayed at ER for hours and let me go home. Dr. prescribed keflex 500mg for 10 days 4x a day. I'm out of antibiotic now, but feel pain on left abdomen and buttocks once in while. Please need help...

Welcome to Connect, @jazzdong.
This sounds like you should return to see your doctor as soon as possible. A kidney infection requires prompt medical attention.
