Brief Answer:
Get a urine culture before starting antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I think it would be good to first get a culture of the urine done. This will help identify the cause of the infection and the antibiotics needed. Taking a course of antibiotics thereafter for 7 to 10 days is more useful.
Best of luck.
