I have a kidney infection in my right kidney. The pain is pretty severe; it feels sort of like I sprained my back. I am a soda addict so I typically drink a lot of soda and little water. I know this is the cause, but now I am drinking water and I was wondering if there is a natural remedy to speed up the healing process, as the pain is pretty severe. I don't have insurance so going to the doctor is out of the question unless it is life or death. Please help.

Answer:

Sorry to tell you this, but it may well become a matter of life and death. Kidney infections are much more serious and severe than bladder infections.

You would do best to go to an emergency room, because kidney infections are almost always treated with antibiotics. In Australia we will often treat them with intravenous antibiotics.

The home remedies you can try are no substitute for definitive treatment.

Try cranberry juice and cranberry pills. Some people take these everyday to ward off the infection. Drink lots... Hope you feel better.

A kidney infection is a life or death matter. If you don't go get it treated it can kill you. See your doc and get it treated.

Kidney infections can be life or death and are nothing to mess with.,

If your're looking for something that's good for kidneys, that would

be cranberry juice

Without care, you may get repeated kidney infections and even kidney failure. The infection could also spread to other parts of your body and cause worse problems.

Infections are not caused by soda, they are caused by germs. There is no cranberry juice Drink that will kill germs in your kidneys, however kidney disease will kill you so get your fanny into the dr and take some penicillin. If you are destitute you can go on medicaid. But go, hospitals have provisions for poverty speak to a social worker when you get there.
