When experiencing soreness and numbness in the right kidney area, the following measures should be taken: 1. **Seek timely medical attention**: Visit the nephrology department of a reputable hospital to undergo relevant examinations such as color ultrasound, routine blood and urine tests, and kidney function tests to determine the cause. 2. **Targeted treatment**: Based on the examination results, a specialist will formulate a treatment plan. This may involve medication (such as antibiotics, diuretics, etc.). For conditions like kidney stones, surgical or lithotripsy treatment may also be required. 3. **Lifestyle adjustments**: Maintain adequate hydration, avoid holding urine, reduce intake of oxalate-rich foods, and follow a low-fat, low-salt, low-sugar diet to reduce the burden on the kidneys. 4. **Psychological adjustment**: Pay attention to emotional well-being, avoid mental stress and excessive fatigue, which can help alleviate discomfort symptoms. 5. **Regular follow-up**: Follow medical advice and undergo regular checkups to monitor disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
