Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this infection and all the symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully and this may be a drug reaction. For this, I will like to know the name of the drug you are taking to understand more.
For now, drink much water. Do you feel any pains when urinating?

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be the cause!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This drug is unlikely to be responsible for these symptoms. I will rather suggest you go ahead and do a full urinalysis to identify what the cause is and treat accordingly. This might be an infection of the urinary system.

Let me know what the results say!
