Yes, the fever maybe because 0f UTI.
The antibiotic chosen is safe during pregnancy, so do not worry.
BUt the urine culture report is dated 17.4.17 and today is 29.4.17.
So it means the UTI is not yet cured.
She needs to get repeat urine routine microscopy done to know the reason for prolonged fever.
The treatment is correct at present.
