Hi
Based on the information you may have urinary tract infection, which may be responsible for your symptoms. I would have treated you with tab norflox 400 mg twice daily for 5 days. But as you have mentioned about unprotected sex, it is needed to rule out pregnancy before prescribing this agent.
Most experts advise that you should wait at least one day after your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test, though waiting a week is considered best. This can be tough when you are anxious to find out if you're pregnant, but waiting allows for a higher degree of accuracy when taking the test, as hCG levels rise rapidly in pregnant women.
It's best to do the home pregnancy test first thing in the morning, when your urine is most concentrated and hCG levels are highest.
So I advice you to perform a test a week after missed period and with morning sample of urine. This test kits are nearly 98% accurate, so reliable.
Based on the result treatment varies.
I hope you have found something useful with this.
Wish you good health. Take care.
