Patients with symptoms of nephritis or pyelonephritis can, under the guidance of a doctor, use medications such as levofloxacin and sodium bicarbonate tablets for treatment. It is important to maintain a light diet in daily life, consuming liquid or semi-liquid foods such as rice soup, milk, egg drop soup, and soybean milk. Additionally, diuretic foods like pears and watermelon should be consumed to ensure adequate fluid intake, dilute urine, and help eliminate bacteria from the body. It is also advisable to moderately consume alkaline foods such as green beans, spinach, and mushrooms.
