Clearing a kidney infection typically involves a course of antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.
Treatment with Antibiotics
The primary method for clearing a kidney infection is through antibiotics.
- Antibiotic Course: If you're being treated at home, your doctor will usually prescribe a course of antibiotic tablets or capsules. This course typically lasts between 7 and 14 days.
- Feeling Better: You will usually start to feel better soon after starting the antibiotics.
It is crucial to finish the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better, to ensure the infection is completely eradicated and to prevent antibiotic resistance. Consult with your doctor for the most appropriate treatment plan.
