Brief Answer:
Abdominal ultrasound should be done.
Detailed Answer:
This seems to be still bladder and urethra infection. Most likely the antibiotics are ineffective. It is also possible that the infection is only a cause of some disease like stone in the bladder or some lump in the bladder. That is why, I suggest you to have abdominal ultrasound to see the bladder and consider urologist consult. In case of any doubts, cystoscopy should be done. Especially if there was a trace of blood in the urine analysis.
For sure urine analysis should be repeated. It would be also good to repeat urine culture, but it can be done some time after antibiotics treatment will be over.
