Your symptoms are suggestive of you having a urinary tract infection. I would advise you to do a urine routine and a urine culture to confirm the diagnosis and to find the sensitivity of the underlying infection to medication. You would require an antibiotics. These following steps may help:
- Drink plenty of liquids(3 liters of water per day), especially water as it helps dilute your urine and ensures that you'll urinate more frequently which allows bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can begin.
- Drink cranberry juice although studies are not conclusive that cranberry juice prevents UTIs, it is likely not harmful.
