I'm a bit concerned because my creatinine level came back as 2.2. Is medication alone going to be enough to bring it down, or should I be doing something else? I'm really looking for any advice you might have.

I'm a bit concerned about some kidney issues I had after taking aceclofenac for a fever. My creatinine levels went up to 2.3, but they've come back down now. The thing is, whenever I don't drink enough water, I start to feel a slight pain again. Do you think this will go away with time, or should I see someone about it?

Yes it takes time to settle,get your renal function test done regularly, consume balanced diet and stay hydrated.
