Symptom 3: Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting can be common symptoms of a kidney infection. In this section, we’ll discuss why these symptoms occur and when to seek medical help.
Kidney infections can cause a range of symptoms that impact your gastrointestinal system, including nausea and vomiting. These symptoms may be the result of your body’s inflammatory response to the infection, or they could be due to toxins produced by the bacteria, which can affect your digestive system.
Nausea is characterized by a feeling of unease or discomfort in the stomach, while vomiting involves the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth. If you experience these symptoms in conjunction with other signs of a kidney infection, it’s essential to take them seriously and consult a healthcare professional.
Nausea and vomiting, when accompanied by other kidney infection symptoms, warrant medical attention. Reach out to a healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and receive appropriate guidance on the next steps for diagnosis and treatment.
