Hello,

Based on the facts that you have posted you mostly seem to have UTI (Cystitis)

Get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like
Nitrofurantoin and Urinary antispasmodics like Flavoxate twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

With this treatment for a week the problem should get resolved If persists you need to consult Urologist for clinical assessment and get the further tests like
1) Ultrasound Scanning of the abdomen
