Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are suffering from UTI (Urinary tract infection), if you have stopped taking antibiotics and still having urinary symptoms that means infection is still there.
You must understand common organism like E.Coli causing UTI sometime resistant to common antibiotics hence infection is not completely cured.
It is also not clear if urine culture and sensitivity test was done or not please visit your doctor or a Urologist to find out what is wrong.
Once suitable antibiotic for sufficient long period is given it will improve.
You may be required to test urine again with C&S, ultrasonography may be done to find out any obstruction which make it complicated UTI.
Please continue to take lot of water and cranberry juice,if you have pain and fever a Paracetamol will help other wise along with antibiotics antiseptic like Pyridium may be given by your doctor.
It is also important to check with Gynecologist a local ulcer or cystocele may be there.
Hiatus hernia is not related to UTI and please continue to take omeprazole and it is not related with UTI. Keep good personal hygiene.
Take care
Good Luck
