Heat Therapy for Pain
Asides from taking pain relief medications to deal with pain when treating a kidney infection, heat therapy can also be used to handle back pain, side pain, or abdominal pain.
A heating pad can be applied to the area for about 20 minutes, removed, and reapplied to obtain relief.
Epsom Salt Bath
This is also another way of handling the pain. Instead of taking pain medications, an Epsom salt bath can be of great help in handling the pain while waiting for the antibiotics to take effect.
