Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Urine strip test is not the best thing to diagnose urinary tract infection. It is always better to have regular urine analysis.
However if there is no symptoms no more like burning when urinating, frequent urinating, blood in urine, lower abdominal pain, fever, most likely the infection is gone.
Please now try to increase mineral water intake for few more days and start cranberries supplementation.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
