Thank you for asking your question
Yes,Burning micturition,urgency,pain during micturition,foul smelling and fever all these are symptoms of urinary tract infection.You said your todays urine routine examination is negative for infection but that doest not rule out urinary tract infection.
You will need to do urine culture examination and have to take antibiotics according to report.

You said you are suffering from recurrent UTI then it is necessary to find out the cause for recurrent UTI.

Please do consult with your physician for investigations and and appropriate treatment.

Pyridium will help to resolve symptoms but not a definitive treatment.

Regards.
