Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some more problem with your kidneys rather than simple urinary tract infection.
You might require some more investigations to rule out any problem in your kidneys.
Go for routine urine check up, ultra sound of kidneys and kidney function tests like S. creatinine, blood urea, sodium and potassium estimation.
After all reports your doctor will come to proper diagnosis and then plan of treatment can be decided.
Ok and take care.
