It may affect your whole body or be limited to a specific area – usually your back or arms. Itching tends to affects both sides of the body at the same time and may feel internal, like a crawling feeling just below the skin.

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.

Im looking at the results from a physical examination and Im a bit worried. It mentions a 'slight turbid' appearance and there's a 'faint trace' of protein in the chemical examination. The microscopic examination shows pus cells at 56 and red cells at 10-12, with epithelial cells marked as 23. Should I be concerned about these results? What could they indicate about my health?
