kidney infectionhow can u tell its just a kidney infection and not something more serious. I have pain in my kidneys whem I woke up and had to go number 2. I have been on the toilet for like 2 hours because I still feel like I have to go number 2. I did go again but I also threw up. I am scared an nervous I had kidney infections before but never like this. I do drink a lot of caffeine like a 2 litter bottle of mountain dew every day plus ay least one energy drink like red bull a day the 16 oz ones but they all are sugar free. should I go to the hospital or drink cranberry juice like I do all of the other times. please help me.
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! You may have kidney stones which is felt like pain in the kidneys, feeling of urinating but with actual urine coming out. I would suggest getting an ultrasound and an urinalysis. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at
