Fever and chills can be signs of kidney stones in women, particularly if an infection is present in the urinary tract. Infections can develop as a result of the stone causing irritation and obstruction, providing an environment for bacteria to thrive.
If you experience fever and chills alongside other kidney stone symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. An untreated infection can lead to more severe complications, such as kidney damage or sepsis.
Treatment for a urinary tract infection typically involves antibiotics to target the underlying infection. In some cases, the kidney stone may need to be removed or broken down to alleviate the obstruction and facilitate recovery. (7)
