Brief Answer:
Flush out with Potchlor syrup.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Are you diabetic? Are you sexually active?
You clearly seem to have Urinary tract infection, thanks for the good description.
What antibiotics did you take? How many days/pills?
If there is a low fever you can wait, that means antibiotic is acting.
I suggest taking syrup Potchlor (potassium chloride) as per dose on it, three times a day to flush out bacteria or neutralize it. Increase water intake. Refrain from intercourse for a week. It's good to empty bladder for so long time.
Hope this helps.
