What type of infection do I have? It started out as bladder.. then kidney?

Question

The Dr. diagnosed me with a bladder/kidney infection. He gave me Bacterim as an antibiotic and the 3rd day I woke up and couldn't talk. The bacterim has also given me a yeast infection and peeing now is horrible.. it's like peeing razor blades.

Today I woke up with swollen/sore lips and sore throat, and I have a thick white stuff on my tongue. I couldn't talk so I silenced myself all day. It hurts to eat and drink and my head also hurt the entire day. I forced myself to eat a kids meal from mcdonalds earlier.

What has happened to me?

Answer 1

It's obvious that you have no idea about a healthy diet. Eating MacDonalds is probably what got you ill in the first place.
You need to do some internal cleansing.

There are some diet changes essential too!

Have you already gone through the full kidney and colon cleansing processes?

Kidney cleanse is any procedure that involves drinking a huge amount of liquid, and taking care what you are eating. Just a better diet with more water can be enough! But, also any form of bowel cleansing will also help kidneys! The Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet is also a Kidney cleanse, juice fasting is also a kidney cleanse, and any other form of fasting that incorporates a lot of liquids, will in the same time clean a kidney. Do you need special herbs? Only if you have acute lower back pain, clear symptom of Kidney stones (sharp glass like crystals, made of phosphoric acid, or sometimes may include other acids). In special occasions, you can get a kidney stone crystallized in less then a few days !!! To melt a stone/stones, you may need a few weeks, or one day with the Watermelon Cleanse.

Herbal Kidney Cleanse Designed by Dr. Hulda Clark from her book "The Cure for All Disease", explains in detail how to cleanse the kidneys, and her cleansing program will get rid of most if not all the stones, WITHOUT surgery.
Ingredients:

1/2 cup dried Hydrangea root
1/2 cup Gravel root
1/2 cup Marshmallow root
4 bunches of fresh parsley
Goldenrod tincture (leave this out of the recipe if you are allergic to it)
Ginger Capsules
Uva Ursi capsules
Vegetable glycerine
Vitamin B6 250mg
Magnesium oxide 300mg or 1/4 cup Green Drink Beverage

Measure ¼ cup of each root and set them to soak, Together in 10 cups of cold tap water, using a non-metal container and a non-metal lid (a dinner plate will do). After four hours (or over night), bring liquid with soaked herbs to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Drink a ¼ cup as soon as it is cool enough. Pour the rest in through a bamboo or plastic strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers. Refrigerate the glass jar.
Find fresh parsley at a grocery store that does not spray its produce (ask the owner). Boil the fresh parsley, after rinsing, in 1 quart of water for 3 minutes. Strain out the liquid, then drink ¼ cup when cool enough. Refrigerate a pint and freeze 1 pint. Put the cooked parsley in your compost bucket.
Dose: each morning, pour together ¾ cup of the root mixture and ½ cup parsley water, filling a large mug. Add 20 drops of goldenrod tincture and 1 tbs. of glycerin.

Drink this mixture in divided doses throughout the day. Keep cold. Do not drink it all at once or you will get a stomach ache and feel pressure in the bladder. If your stomach is very sensitive, start on half this dose.

Save the roots after the first boiling, storing them in the freezer. After 13 days when your supply runs low, boil the same roots a second time, but add only 6 cups water and simmer only 10 minutes. This will last another 8 days, for a total of three weeks. You may cook the roots a third time if you wish, but the recipe gets less potent. If your problem is severe, only cook them twice.
After three weeks, repeat with fresh herbs. You need to do the kidney cleanse for six weeks to get good results, longer for severe problems.

Also take:

Ginger capsules: one with each meal (3/day).
Uva Ursi capsules: one with breakfast and two with supper
Vitamin B6 (250mg): one per day
Magnesium oxide (300mg): one a day

Take these supplements just before your meal to avoid burping.

Some notes on this recipe: this herbal tea, as well as the parsley, can easily spoil. Heat it to boiling every fourth day if it is being stored in the refrigerator; this resterilizes it. If you sterilize it in the morning you may take it to work without refrigerating it (use a glass container).

There are probably dozens of herbs that can dissolve kidney crystals and stones. If you can only find several of those in the recipe, make the recipe anyway; it will just take longer to get results. Remember that vitamin B6 and magnesium taken daily can prevent oxalate stones from forming. But only if you stop drinking regular tea and cocoa. Tea has 15.6 mg oxalate acid per cup. A tall glass of iced tea could give you over 20 mg oxalate acid. Switch to herb teas. Cocoa and chocolate, also, have too much oxalate acid to be used as beverages.

Remember too that phosphate crystals are made when you eat too much phosphate. Phosphate levels are high in meats, breads, cereals, pastas, and carbonated drinks, eat less of these, and increase your milk (2%), fruits and vegetables. Drink at least 2 pints of water per day.

You can dissolve all your kidney stones in 3 weeks, but make new ones in 3 days if you are drinking tea and cocoa and phosphate beverages.
Cleanse your kidneys at least twice a year.

Answer 3

I don't know if this has any relation to your bladder/kidney infection.
You may have developed a reaction to the antiobiotics, or maybe thrush.
You can get thrush in your mouth - antiobiotics can kill all the good bacteria in your system and a side effect is thrush.
Don't worry, it's treatable.
I think your bladder infection is still there(because you are getting the uncomfortable feelings when urinating)
Do you pass any blood?
I would strongly suggest you go back to your dr. Maybe he might
prescribe another antiobiotic more suitable to you and one
that will kill the infection.

Make sure you are drinking plenty of fresh water, daily.
At least 8-10 glasses.
Cranberry juice is excellent for any type of bladder/kidney infection.

Kidney infections can actually make you feel quite ill.
I know, I have had them!!!
Take care! Get well soon...

Answer 5

sounds like an allergic reaction to the medication. this doesn't sound normal unless stated on the paperwork given to you with the medication. If you still have that paperwork, check out all the possible side-effects. You can also call the pharmacy that you bought the medication from, it could also be a reaction if you're taking other medication....even something like birth control is vital information, lots of women don't know this and forget to tell their doctors when the doctor asks what medication they are taking. Last resort is to call your doc, they might be able to prescribe a different med for you, but be sure to tell the doc all the meds you're taking, even if it's aspirin.

Answer 6

You need to go back to the doctor and have him give you a new antibiotic. I believe what you are experiencing are side effects of the Bacterim. You should get back to your doctor ASAP. Monday morning if possible. If necessary, go to the ER.

As far as the yeast infection. The bacterim killed the normal bacterial flora of your vagina allowing the yeast to breed out of hand. Very common when taking antibiotics. Ask your doctor to prescribe you a medicine for the yeast infection in addition to your antibiotic. (You should just request this every time you get a prescription for an antibiotic. Now that you know that it happens to you.)

Answer 7

Sounds like you may have been given the wrong perscription. Get back to your doctor asap about this. You may have developed a secondary infection, or even an allergy. Obviously - it sounds like there is a urinary tract infection, but it's not improving - you need to get them to look into this - call them ASAP. They will probably tell you to stop taking the bacterim and perscribe something else - possibly do more bloodwork.

Answer 8

You're having an allergic reaction to the bacterium. You need to see your doctor immediately before you go into anaphylactic shock.
I would suggest that you get 50 mg of Benadryl into you for the swelling of the throat and tongue.
Your doctor will probably switch prescriptions to something like azithromycin for what appears to be a systemic infection.

I'm serious, get back to your doctor ASAP.

Answer 9

Antibiotic is likely to cause your yeast infection. It is a normal side effect; however, you may want to consult your doctor about bactrim because you are experiencing severe side effects from this drug. Here's what this website had to say about the drug:

Stop taking Bactrim and seek emergency medical attention if you experience any of the following serious side effects:

· an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
· unusual bleeding or bruising; or
· yellow skin or eyes.

• Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take your medication and talk to your doctor if you experience:

· headache, fatigue, or dizziness;
· nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, or diarrhea;
· weakness; or
· increased sensitivity to the sun.

Answer 10

sorry to say this but it sounds to me like u need to go have an std check. the symptoms u are describing sounds alot like chlymidia. Have u had unprotected sex in the last 3 months or so? u may have a bad case of it that its travelled to ur mouth. giving oral sex to sumone with an infection can b passed on as well so that could describe the infection in ur mouth, id get to the doctors for a check right away

Answer 11

May not be too helpful, but when you take antibiotics they begin to kill the infection, and it make spread to other areas. The thick white stuff on your tongue is more than likely another form of the yeast, growing in your mouth.
You may want to revisit your doctor, and ask about getting an oral steriod.
