Yes, of course you can have a urinary tract infection (UTI) and appendicitis. They are from different body systems. The UTI is fixed with antibiotics and appendicitis is ONLY fixed with surgery. If you had appendicitis you would get sicker every day with more pain and fever. You would know if you had appendicitis, it DOESN:T go away!

∙ 9y agoWhen the appendix lies on right ureter, you can get red blood cells in urine. It should be rare to get lot of pus cells in urine in appendicitis. The right ureter colic can not be differentiated from appendicitis. In such cases, it is better to get the appendix removed.

Do you take Tylenol or ibuprofen during a kidney infection?
When you have a kidney infection, taking a non-aspirin such as Tylenol or Advil (or other products containing Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen) will help alleviate the pain and some swelling. It is advised however that if you have symptoms of a kidney infection, especially if you have them regularly, you need to seek medical attention and speak with your doctor about a prescription antibiotic. Your kidneys are able to tell more about your health than meets the eye, and it could be a sign of something more serious.

Having a urine test for kidney infection if you have alcohal the night before will it affect your test?
For starters you should not be drinking alcohol when you have a kidney infection, it will only make it much much worse, nor should you drink coffee - only lots of water! It may alter the results, it is best to tell your doctor when you go for the test.
When your husband urinated there was a bit of blood afterwards?
Blood in your urine can be due to but not limited to: a bladder infection, kidney infection, prostrate problem, kidney stones, and bladder stones. Blood in your urine no matter how small is not normal, and should be checked out by a physician. A simple urinalysis is probably where they will start, this will show white and red blood cells that can be present that you can not even see with the naked eye. They can also check for infection, an infection could be caused by a bladder infection, kidney infection, kidney stones and bladder stones that may be cutting the urinary track. A bladder infection if not taken care of (usually with antibiotics) can travel to your kidneys and then you may be in a life threatening situation if not treated quickly and properly. Some doctors stop with just using the urine test strips but that doesn't always indicate an infection, insist that they run a urine culture. A urine culture will not only be more accurate, it will also tell you what type of infection it is and exactly what antibiotic will cure the infection. Hope this helps. Cheyzer
What causes right side pain?
If the pain is in the lower abdominal area on the right side, it could indicate appendicitis. It could also indicate an ovarian cyst (pain on either side - not just the right). If you have fever, or if the pain persists, you need to get to a doctor right away, especially if you start vomiting.
How do you know if it is a kidney infection rather than a urinary tract infection?
Usually with a kidney stone, the person will either experience pain the back that is dull and achy, or sometimes sharp and intense. Sometimes people who have kidney stones don't even have symptoms. Most of the time symptoms only occur when the stone has blocked something else. When you are experiencing this pain, you will know it. It is often compared to the pains of childbirth. You may also experience blood in your urine, feeling nauseated, feeling very tired, and have a fever. With a urinary tract infection, the pain is a lot less severe, although still painful. The pain experienced with this will also be only when you urinate. You may also feel as if you cannot urinate because with the infection, the sphincters in your bladder will spasm, making it very difficult to pass the urine (as well as making it very painful). You also may experience blood in your urine with this, and if this is occurring it is usually a sign that the infection is quite advanced. This is something that must be treated before it turns into kidney infection. You also may experience nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and fatigue with this. The best way to tell what you have is to see a doctor!! Hope this helps!
