Brief Answer:
Get your urine tested

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. I have checked the attached images. Please do not apply hydrocortisone, it will only make things worse. Get your urine tested for routine microscopy and culture sensitivity. Upload the reports thereafter. Urinary tract infections (anyone could get one) could present with similar complaints.

I will await your response. Till then have plenty of water to drink.

Brief Answer:
UTI is treated with antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
The first thing is to detect the underlying cause. Urinary tract infection seemed to be the most logical explanation. If the investigation confirms it, a simple course of antibiotics should suffice. You should also take plenty of water to drink.
