Hi, i am 38+3 weeks pregnant, and my white cell count it abnormal high. I have already finished one course of amoxicillin, but it had no effect on the white cell count, infatuated it doubled. My white cell count at present is1843 normal range between 0-40. My bloody pressure is fine, but the pain to my left kidney if horrendous at time. I am currently on second dose of amoxicillin but the pain isnt improving. Do i need to be seeing someone as kidney infections can be fatal.
HelloThanks for query. You are 38 pregnant and have severe pain in left kidney year with raised WBC count. These symptoms one most likely to be due to kidney infection secondary to impacted stone in ureter and need to be investigated and confirmed. Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to establish cause for pain and infection 1) Urine routine and Urine culture 2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen 3) Renal function test. Take appropriate antibiotic that can be safely taken during pregnancy. Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests and final diagnosis. Chat Doctor.
