Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Presence of bacteria in urine means urinary tract infection.
2. You need to get a urine culture and sensitivity test to identify appropriate antibiotics to get treated.
3. Also take plenty of water. If there is a possibility of recurrent infection, evaluation of possible reflux of urine needs to be evaluated at the bladder ureter junction.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
