Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes this seems to be a urinary tract infection ,which will most of the times respond to the antibiotics however if you still suspect that the infection might not be cured , then i would suggest you repeat the tests ie. urine analysis if still there is pus cell , then culture sensitivity of the urine is done which will show the germ and the antibiotic working for it , this would settle the issue most of the times.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
