Brief Answer:
Do a urine test

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thank you for using Health Care Magic .
I have gone through your question and I understand your concern .

Sometimes Uricalm may interfere with the urine test ,so if you took Uricalm why you did the test ,the positive nitrates may be due to the drug.

If you have been with the symptoms for some days and you dont have any relief from using Uricalm i would recommend to do a urine test in the hospital to rule out infection or any stones and a full examination by a local doctor .
Meanwhile drink planty of water at least 8glasses /day.
Hope I have answered your question .
Let me know if you have any other clarifications, I will be happy to help.
Take Care !
Dr Balliu.
