Hello, my father has been told that he has some issues with his kidneys. I am concerned because nothing has been recommended for him other than to drink water. This came on fairly suddenly about three days ago when he began feeling cold and upper back and shoulder pain. He also complained o fever. Now he has given blood work, an x-ray, and a CT scan. I am concerned because nothing was said to him about going to the hospital if it gets worse and he hasn t been offered any medicine. Additionally, he is very week. My dad normally faces most illness head on and it is difficult to notice that he is sick at all, but these days he is complaining of feeling very poorly which is nothing like him. Thanks, ~JW
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  It appears that he would have a urinary tract infection, or a stone in the kidney, or ureter. The advice is to Chat Doctor.  But he also must be treated for the infection, pains, and weak less.  I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.  Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to compensate the weakness, and resistance against the infections.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
