Brief Answer:
UTI OR URINARY TRACT STONE
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome
I appreciate your concern
Based on your description, there are two possilities.
Either the UTI didn't resolve and the urine needs to be re examined. A culture sensitivitytesting of the urine would be required to advise targeted therapy with antibiotics.
The second possibility is that of a urinary tract stone. Small stones tend to cause more pain then larger ones. An ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis or an x ray KUB can be advised in this regard.
For the time being you can take ibuprofen and antispasmodic like hyosine for symptomatic relief.
Let me know if you have any query
wishing you best of health
Thanks
