Hi
Thanks for your query.
I would suggest that you get a urinalysis, urine culture, CBC and an Ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder.
These tests will tell us if you have a UTi and also what is its extent and severity.
You will probably require a course of antibiotics depensing on the test results.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
