Brief Answer:
Suggest not to interpret the results

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

First thing is you should not interpret or cause anxiety to the urine results.
The job is for the doctor to decide if you have serious issue that led to these results.
Simple putting an antibiotic can cause the kidney to lose some albumin in the urine so the new urine result could be medication use.
You take care of yourself and not the report. I hope the antibiotic and paracetmol were prescribed by doctor and not self medication.
Besides gargle with salt water helps in clearing throat infection easily.
All the best.
