Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Take plenty of fluids. Concentrated urine due to low hydration can cause smell of urine in this manner.
2. However, asymptomatic bacteruria or associated cervical infection cannot be ruled out. Take medication as suggested.
3. Also check your diet and avoid any new additions in diet.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
