Hi,

Welcome to iCliniq.com.

Please go for a urine routine and microscopy test along with a sonography KUB (kidney, ureter, and bladder) to be sure if this is a UTI (urinary tract infection) or cystitis. If the urine report shows more than ten pus cells per HPF (high-pass filter) with a normal sonography report, treat it as UTI with a course of Cefixime 200 milligrams twice a day for five days. Kindly go for a urine culture as well before starting this. Please drink at least six to seven cups of water daily to prevent these issues.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
