Brief Answer:
Then you most likely have a UTI!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

With this added information, you most likely have a UTI. You will need in addition to the above measures antibiotics. Antibiotics can only be gotten with doctor's script and I encourage you to talk to your primary care doctor for treatment.

I wish you well.
