Patient's question:
For a month, I had a cold, fever, and lower back pain (severe pain for a week). After treating the cold for ten days, the fever subsided and the lower back pain. However, I still felt discomfort in the perineum and anal area, as well as urinary discomfort. Later, I developed urinary retention and was hospitalized for catheterization.Doctor's answer:
General supportive and symptomatic treatment, including bed rest, semi-recumbent position to facilitate localization of inflammation, adequate nutrition and fluid intake, physical cooling for high fever, correction of electrolyte disorders and acid-base balance, and administration of sedatives and analgesics for severe pain.Antibiotics are selected based on bacterial culture results from urine and pus. When conditions are not available, penicillin should be the first choice. For severe cases, intravenous infusion of broad-spectrum antibiotics may be used. Antibiotics should be administered in sufficient doses to control the condition in the short term.
