Brief Answer:
Get a culture

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I would agree with the diagnosis of urine infection.
However, I would suggest that you test a urine culture before starting antibiotics.
And also 3 days of antibiotics may not be enough.
As for the pink wipe, it may be due to upcoming menses.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
