Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Yes, your symptoms and the urine report are suggestive of a urinary tract infection and the antibiotics started seem to be appropriate .
The symptoms might take some time to resolve and for symptomatic relief you might discuss with your doctor for prescribing a urinary alkalizer ( eg syrup cital ,urimax etc) for temporary relief.
If you have persistent symptoms despite completion of a course of prescribed antibiotics then your doctor might suggest additional urine culture & antibiotic sensitivity test for confirmation of the causative bacteria & change of medications .
Kindly drink plenty of water( even if you have frequent urination )for faster recovery.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
