Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
Thus is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
It seems like an urinary tract infection considering the urine report. As because it has happened twice in a year, a culture for the specific organism is required to start specific antibiotics and treat it completely. Also ultrasonography is advised to rule out kidney causes.
I would suggest you to get the culture done. If required, then USG can be done later.
Hope this was helpful.
Regards
