Sign 5: Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting can be additional symptoms of a kidney infection in women. These symptoms can occur as a result of the body’s response to the infection or due to the pain and discomfort associated with the condition. Nausea and vomiting can be particularly distressing, as they can lead to dehydration and further exacerbate other symptoms.
It is essential to stay hydrated during a kidney infection, especially if you are experiencing nausea and vomiting. Drinking plenty of water and consuming clear liquids, such as broth or electrolyte-rich drinks, can help replenish lost fluids and prevent dehydration.
Again, it is crucial to note that nausea and vomiting can be caused by various factors, including gastrointestinal issues or other infections. Consult a healthcare professional to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. (5)
