Hi,
Ideal way to treat the urinary tract infection is to get done the culture sensitivity test, it will just not only show the list of sensitive drug but can also detected the causative organism if ever present, if not organism is there then no need to take any antibiotic but underlying cause of symptom could be something else and not the infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
