Urinary infection usually resolves within few days when using the appropriate antibiotic.

If the infection didn't resolve within these 5 days, I'll recommend:

1- A "urine culture" which is a test for the urine sample to detected the type of bacteria causing the infection and its sensitivity to different antibiotics. This helps deciding the best and most effective antibiotic.

2- I'd recommend an ultrasound, to exclude congenital causes of stasis, obstruction, or stone formation predisposing to this infection.

I hope this was a sufficient answer to your concerns.
