You may get the pathological test of Urine (Routine & Micro) done. If there are bacteria, you may go for Urine (Culture & Sensitivity). Accordingly the antibiotics are to be started. Also get your blood sugar checked.

Mild urethral infection normally behaves like this.

In the meantime, the best thing is to drink plenty of liquids (4-5 Litres/day). Especially Alkaline liquids, which will neutralize the acidic urine. XXXXXXX Juice, Banana Shake are some examples.
Citrus Fruits should be avoided - Lemon, Orange, Sweet Lime.
