Hi thanks for asking question.
You are suffering from proteus infection that is common cause of UTI.
Over boil you apply local antibiotic cream.
To get over this infection first try single dose ceftriaxone and then cefixime or levofloxacin taken orally for 10 days.
If still no benefit then from affected tissue or fluid ex.urine culture done for choosing antibiotic.
If you are infected with multidrug Resistance proteus infection then carbapenam is only available drug.
Meanwhile drink more water with cranberry juice can be helpful.
Fruits and green leafy vegetables useful.
Avoid spicy food.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
I find this answer helpful
