Hello Doctor,
Last week I had a UTI, but on Wednesday, I ate Samyang (spicy noodles) and drank a lot of water. After that, my lower right back became sore and has been painful ever since. I also keep having acid reflux and burping. Why am I feeling this way?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Your symptoms could be related to a combination of factors, including a recent UTI, spicy food, and dehydration. A kidney infection, which can cause lower back pain, may have developed from the UTI. Spicy foods, like Samyang noodles, can worsen acid reflux, leading to burping and discomfort. Dehydration can also contribute to these issues. It's important to stay hydrated, avoid irritating foods, and monitor your symptoms. If the back pain persists or worsens, or if you experience fever, chills, or nausea, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take pain relievers, apply a heating pad to your back, and rest while awaiting further medical care.
Thanks.
