Signs And Symptoms Of Cystitis

Nausea And Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting tend to occur with more serious cases of cystitis, and they are usually an indication the infection has spread to the kidneys. If these symptoms are present, patients should seek emergency medical care. Some individuals could experience a fever and chills in conjunction with nausea and vomiting. At the emergency room, patients should let the physician know when they began experiencing nausea and vomiting and how many vomiting episodes they have had. The doctor may ask questions about if the patient has been able to keep food or liquid down and about symptoms such as painful urination or back or side pain. If a kidney infection is suspected, patients may have urine and blood tests, and some will need to have x-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans. Patients with kidney infections may need to stay in the hospital to receive intravenous antibiotics, and anti-nausea medication may be administered as well. Patients will be monitored regularly, and they will be released from the hospital once the infection has resolved and they have stopped vomiting.
