Kidney infection is medically referred to as “Pyelonephritis”. Bacterial infection, kidney stones and weak immunity might lead to this problem. Symptoms of this problem include fever, nausea, burning sensation while urinating, pus or blood secretion with urine, pain and so on. Further, it may result in dehydration, rapid heart rate and weakness.
Pregnant women and individuals suffering from diabetes are at a higher risk of developing this problem. Various natural treatments can be used to get relief from the problem.
