Suggest Treatment For Persistent Urine Infection

I have recently had a urine infection but the medication has finished. I am still uncomfortable and feel I want to go to the loo but cannot do anything. When I do I have kept a small sample back quite a few times and they all have a small amount of cloud and today a few white spots. I am a 72 year old female usually in excellent health.
