Fever, chills, back, side, or groin pain, nausea, or vomiting?

Get medical care right away—today, not after waiting for this guide. These can be signs of a kidney infection.

Read the safety source

Tell the short symptom story. Get the right next action.

Burning, frequent urges, lower-belly pain, or urine changes need a clear next step. Contact a clinician instead of using old medicine or guessing online.

Choose the path that matches what is happening now

  1. Urinary symptoms. Say when the burning, urges, pain, or urine change began. Ask how soon you should be checked.
  2. Possible kidney warning signs. If urinary symptoms come with fever, chills, back, side, or groin pain, nausea, or vomiting, get care right away.
  3. Test and follow-up. Ask what the urine test checks and when the result will come. Ask who explains it and what to do if you feel worse.

Questions to bring

Use or adapt these words when speaking with a professional:

“I have urinary symptoms. How soon should I be seen, what will the visit and urine test cost, and who will explain the result?”

Let the clinician choose the test

Expect health questions, an exam, or a urine test. These symptoms have many causes, so this guide does not diagnose a UTI.

Do not choose an antibiotic yourself

A clinician decides if you have a UTI and if an antibiotic fits. Do not share old antibiotics or save them for later.

Know who gives the result

Ask when the result will come and who will explain it. Ask what to do if you feel worse and whether more care costs extra.

Keep in mind

  • Your symptom start and changes
  • The visit and test result
  • Treatment instructions and follow-up
