Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in again

I would suggest you go for an abdominal ultrasound and a urine report

Depending on the sensitivity you may need to start an antibiotic

Till then take plenty of fluids orally and Diclofenac for pain management

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern
