6 Treatment Options for Kidney Infection
Analgesic-Antipyretic Medication
Analgesic-antipyretic medications, such as aspirin or paracetamol, are an effective way to reduce the temperature of the body and alleviate the pain caused by a kidney infection. They would limit the generation of prostaglandin E2, a substance that would incite the cells in a brain area called the hypothalamus to raise the body’s temperature. In other words, analgesics can prevent pain signals from reaching your brain, thus relieving some typical symptoms. Ideally, the recommended dosage is not more than 500 mg every 5 hours. These drugs are often available in the form of tablets or pills. [7]
