You should be investigated

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like Urinary tract infection. Another condition that has to be excluded is Right sided Ureteric stone.
You should be investigated.
I prefer Ultrasound abdomen and Urine for Culture and sensitivity.
These are the basic investigations.
Please drink plenty of liquids.
Initially I prescribe Antibiotic like Norfloxacin ,antispasmodic tablet along with Urinary alkaliser syrup till investigations.
Please consult your Urologist, get examined clinically and get investigated.
Nothing to worry. It will come down.
