A kidney infection is also called pyelonephritis. Each
kidney infection symptom can range from mild to severe. Most people
who have a kidney infection will have two or more of these kidney
infection symptoms:
Pain in the back just below the rib cage on one side of the
body (flank pain). Flank pain occurs when a kidney is inflamed.
Fever [100 °F (37.8 °C) or higher] or chills, nausea
or vomiting, burning pain with urination (dysuria), a frequent
urge to urinate without being able to pass much urine (frequency),
cloudy urine (pyuria), abdominal pain.
When a kidney infection occurs, usually only one kidney is infected.
What kidney infection symptoms should you look for in a child?
For children over the age of two, the symptoms are exactly
the same as above. But if they are under two years old, vague
signs like diarrhea or abdominal pain could be a kidney infection
symptom.
