    A fever is a sign of infection. Why isn't he telling all this to his doctor? Having had surgery on his kidney when he was only 8 years old is serious and more than we can really help with online. And I don't understand what the catheter being 'too down' means (or where it's located), so make sure he tells the doctor that too! If you can go to his next appointment with him and ask a lot of questions, that will help both of you be medically informed.

    He tell everything to a doctors but nobody listen here. They just I think don't care. So I'm trying to find a best solution online. About catheter I don't really know how to explain.. I just know that they say that catheter is lowered or something like that... I don't know.. I can't go with him because even he can't ask anything... They won't explain...

    Where in the world do you live?
    Are you paying for health care, or is it free, or is it not free but you can't pay?
    Is it an overcrowded clinic, or hospital? Would you say they give good care overall?

    You still haven't even said where on his body the catheter is, and a catheter can be anywhere. 'Lowered' just is no help at all. You are going to HAVE to ask the doctors more questions yourself, which is proof that you do care!

    If catheter is to empty his bladder, there are two types, condom catheter or an inline catheter. Condom catheters leak.
