Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that your urinary tract infection might have become chronic due to not taking suitable steps to controle it.
In case of chronic urinary tract infection, you need to have culture and sensitivity of the urine , so i advise you to consult an urologist for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms cifixime, dicyclomine hydrochloride, mefenamic acid, alkaline citrate.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses,sprouts, and protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you. .

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Though cranberry juice or tablets can help prevent urinary tract infections, if you are currently experiencing symptoms you would likely need antibiotic therapy.
Urinary tract infections can involve any aspect of the urinary tract (ureter, bladder, kidney, urethra). They would cause symptoms such as frequency of urination, discomfort on urination, fever, abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, change in the odour or colour of urine, blood in the urine.
Since your symptoms are likely due to a UTI, it would be best to see a doctor because antibiotics would be needed.
I hope this helps
