Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a urinary tract infection.

I recommend to do a urine test and a complete blood count to confirm the diagnosis.

Meanwhile, I recommend to use a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen 400 mg three tablets a day.

If the diagnosis is confirmed, antibiotics may be needed.

In my daily practice, I recommend using cyprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day for seven days.

I also recommend to drink liquid, especially cranberry juice.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
