3. Fever
Fever is a symptom often recognized as a sign of infection, but it is found in people with kidney stones as well. Sometimes, patients would go into the emergency room with pain symptoms as we have described above and fever with a sudden onset that usually gets worse as the symptoms aggravate. In patients with an ongoing infection of the urinary tract, fever might not be limited to the painful episodes, and it remains for a longer time unless patients start antibiotic medications or over-the-counter drugs to reduce body temperature.
If your fever is sustained and independent from other symptoms, it is very likely you have an ongoing urinary infection associated with kidney stones. Your doctor will need to address both conditions to manage your case successfully. Thus, do not reach to your own conclusions and do not self-medicate under this or any other similar circumstances.
