I can not get to the doctor for a few days. I am taking otc pain relievers/fever reducers. My fever is spiking up to 103 (at night mostly).
I am also taking a cranberry supplement, and drinking the juice (not cocktail).
I was wondering if a wintergreen or menthol oil rubbed on my flank, might relieve the pain temporarily.
Is there anymore remedies or anything I can do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dandelion tea is a good liver and kidney cleanser, if you can find someone to go pick some non-chemical-sprayed dandelions; unflowered leaves taste the best but any leaves will do. Menthol might help, it wouldn't hurt to try, and you could also try heat packs on your sides. Try not to eat processed foods or any overly acidic foods.
I'm sorry you're feeling bad, my best wishes for your health!

Hmm, I would try to keep up a steady intake of fluids to help flush your kidneys. I would also stay in bed and rest as much as possible until you can see a doc and get some antibiotics.

Oh my goodness im so sorry
I agree with the above posters, GET BETTER SOON!
I was messed up internally a couple weeks ago for nearly a week and a half, i don't have insurance so i pretty much had to take flushers and wait it out too =/
((but it wasn't a kidney problem, still very painful))

I've heard tell that dandelion tea is good for the kidneys.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
I got to the Dr. a little while ago. Let me tell you I Hate going to the the Dr. So if I can't make myself feel better soon or I get worse (which I did cry ) It is a very good sign I am very sick, lol. I got the antibiotics started ASAP. I am going to still try the dandelion tea when I can get around better, even if I am better because I am curious now. I have PLENTY of untouched ones around here, to try, lol.
Like I said thanks.
Margie.
