Welcome to healthcare magic
I am Dr Fahim, and I will be answering your query . . .
I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. It appears to be recurrent Urinary Tract Infection as fever which is high grade and is associated with lower abdominal pain. However other differential should also be kept in mind like gastroenteritis, typhoid fever or malaria. If such a patient walks in to my clinic, after detail history and clinical examination I request for blood complete picture, urine routine examination and ULTRASONOGRAPHY KUB (KIDNEYS, URETER AND URINARY BLADDER) along with ABDOMEN. Since she used antibiotics earlier, it is then recommended that go for her URINE FOR CULTURE SENSITIVITY, which will not only tell us about organism responsible for infection but will also guide us about appropriate antibiotics.
I hope my answer will help you. Please do rate my answer if you like it
