What could be the reason for kidney and lower back pain, especially while coughing?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
As soon as I reached home, I had extreme lower back pain and a cough. I tried some exercise for lower back pain, and the day I exercised, the pain was gone, but the next day my left kidney started to ache and now it has been a week I still have kidney pain; it is not so severe, but when I cough it occurs and when I sleep it hurts. Do you think it is something serious?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. There are many causes of low back pain.
It can be due to muscle spasms, nerve compression, or vitamin D deficiency. The examination is very much necessary to reach a final diagnosis. As far as your nasal congestion is concerned, it can be due to infection or allergy. I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.
- Take tablet Loratadine 10 mg tablet at night for 15 days.
- Take tablet Montelukast 10 mg tablet in the evening for 15 days.
- Take syrup Dextromethorphan one tablespoon in the morning, afternoon, and night for 15 days.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
