I'm really worried about the pain and swelling in my feet, especially in the soles. It's gotten so bad that I can't even walk, and on top of that, my creatinine and potassium levels are elevated. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Question

In my urine test, they found RBC 2530 hpf and Ive been having a really high fever ranging from 102 to 103.4 along with a terrible headache at the back of my head. Do you think the fever is causing the RBC in the urine or is it the other way around? Ive already seen two doctors. One asked for all blood and urine tests and the other suggested another urine test. Im currently taking Switch 200, Aceclofenac, and Paracitamol Alock P as prescribed, but Im still waiting for the results of the second urine test because of the holidays. Its been 5 days now and the fever just keeps coming back as soon as the meds wear off. Even the Paracetamol isnt really helping with the headache. Ibugesic Plus helps a bit, but only for about 5 hours. Nothing seems to work, any thoughts on what could be happening here?

Question

I'm looking for some advice regarding my mom's health. About a year and a half ago, she had a heart attack and went through angiography and angioplasty, where they found a blockage and put in a stent. Since then, we've been going for regular checkups, and her health reports have been mostly fine. But recently, her blood report showed her creatinine levels were at 2.47, which the doctor said might be due to heavy medication. They suggested that stopping the medication could reverse this and help her kidneys recover. After consulting a nephrologist, she started on a new treatment and diet plan, and her creatinine levels went down to 1.79 and then to 1.59. Even though her creatinine is decreasing, I'm worried because she's still experiencing swelling. Could there be another issue that's causing this? What should we be looking into or asking at her next appointment?
