Answers:
That is quite common with a kidney infection, take some paracetamol!. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in very soon and you will start to feel better!. Push fluid intake!.
If symptoms don't improve then you must go back to your GP, in some rare cases it might be that the type of bacteria you are infected with is resistant to the particular antibiotic your GP has prescribed!.
Drinking cranberry juice will certainly not cure a kidney infection, only limited evidence suggests it makes a marginal difference in prevention!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A kidney infection (which can be pyelonephritis) is not necessarily the same as a urinary tract infection!. The symptoms you have are classic!.
Pyelonephritis can be quite severe requiring admission to hospital and iv antibiotics!.
If your symptoms become more severe or if you develop a high temperature, nausea and vomiting - contact your GP again!.
