Patient's question:
I want to ask what is a urinary tract infection? Does a urinary tract infection cause fever? What illnesses can it lead to?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections can lead to fever. Urinary tract infections are generally more commonly caused by bacterial infections. The main symptoms are frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and pain during urination. In more severe cases of infection, fever may occur, which usually indicates a more serious inflammation. Oral antibiotics such as cephalosporins can be taken to reduce inflammation and treat the infection. For urinary tract infections, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water. You can also eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
