What Is Pyelonephritis?
8. Will I Have to Go to the Hospital?
Depending on your level of infection, it’s possible that a hospital stay is in your future. You might be dehydrated and in need of fluids, and your doctor may want to monitor you closely if you are nauseous, vomiting, or battling a high fever.
Your doctor may keep you overnight at a hospital, especially if your infection was discovered during an emergency room visit. For milder infections, you can likely rest at home while finishing your course of antibiotics.
