HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to be seen as soon as possible. Based on the symptoms mentioned, you may either have an infection or a stone in the urinary tract.
You would need to see your doctor for assessment which would include examination of the abdomen and also in office urine analysis.
Urine may be sent off to the lab.
If a stone is suspected then imaging (an ultrasound) , would be needed.
An infection would be treated with a course of antibiotics.The treatment of a stone depends on its size
I hope this helps
