Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

The symptoms you describe are indicative of urinary tract infection. An acute urinary infection could also present with some degree of blood seen in urine.

I suggest you consult your general practitioner for a sample of your urine to be collected and sent for examination and culture. With antibiotics and drinking abundantly, these symptoms should regress within a couple of days. Depending on the results of the culture and sensitivity profiles to antibiotics, the treatment shall be modified.

I strongly suggest you see a doctor for these samples or urine to be collected and sent for examination, drink abundantly and follow the antibiotics as your doctor shall prescribe.

Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.

Thank you!! Went to the ER and yes in fact it is a massive UTI. I am on antibiotics. If it doesn't seem to get better in the next 2 to 3 days I have to see my normal GP. They are worried about my kidneys. Thank you again.
