Brief Answer:
This is not urinary infection - No need for antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
HI...this is not urinary tract infection. The urine routine test you did is completely normal.

There is no fever it is absolutely not a bacterial infection.

Antibiotics can induce diarrhea which is called - antibiotic associated diarrhea. I feel this is antibiotic associated diarrhea.

Stop antibiotic - Taxim-O - Cefixime.
