Having suffered from kidney complaints myself, here is what I did:
Next time things go AWOL, please don't take antibiotics - they only make it worse in the long run. Take an aspirin if the fever gets too much to bear. Let the fever run for a while and hope for it to break naturally, but don't be a martyr, for example when the headaches start splitting one's skull etc.
Next, and this part is very important: Rub straight lavender oil on the kidney area twice a day, and brew lavender flowers into a tea. Drink this at least three times a day, as well as plenty of filtered, re-mineralized water. Drink heaps until the pee is clear. The lavender tea can be made with a dollop of cream, but no sweetener. This is an emergency measure, and can be stopped when the bout clears.
Thirdly, do not eat any carbs, including fruits, bread, pasta, root vegetables, brewed drinks, sugar, honey etc. Do this for at least a month and see how you feel. Carbs break down to sugars in the bloodstream and bacteria living anywhere in the body will feed off the sugars. Once those bacteria use up the sugars you will crave more. In effect, the toxic, life-destrying bacteria are running your brain.
This last measure takes a while to work, but the first 72 hours are very hard, because one is breaking eating patterns that are ingrained. After a week, some progress in symptoms should be noticeable. Just keep knowing that carbs will make one's kidneys hurt.
BTW I have been carnivore for nearly four years and no complaints. The odd occasion that I have allowed myself to eat some carbs (yes it does happen sometimes) I have noticed that funky sweet smell in my pee, and the kidneys will tweak a little, reminding me to return to the clean food. So that carnivore advice is a lifestyle choice.
