Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to urinary tract infection. You can do a urine routine investigation to rule out that. A culture also will be required to confirm the infection agent. For such cases i usually advice antibiotics like norfloxacin empirically and change antibiotic if necessary after culture report. You can take barley water or cranberry juice which helps in alkalizing urine. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
Thanks
