Thank you for using HCM. I read your question carefully and I understand your concern. The way you describe the symptoms, I think that you have an urinary tract infection. You don t mention any other symptoms, like fever, so it might be an uncomplicated case of urinary tract infection. I recommend to drink a lot of water, especially cranberry products. For the pain you can take Phenazopyridine. It will not fight the inflammation, just will alleviate your pain. Do not take it for more then two days, since it might mask your treatment efficacy. You will also need antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin or Bactrim). If your symptoms still persists or worsen (especially fever), you have to do an urinalysis, urine culture and an ultrasound of kidneys and bladder. I hope my answer was helpful. Feel free for additional questions. Best regards
