Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
As your urine was positive for leucocytes and nitrates , it is suggestive of urinary tract infection leading to your symptoms that you have mentioned in your query.
Anti-biotics belonging to fluroquinolones group like norfloxacin can be taken for 7-10 days with plenty of fluids for relief.
If not go for urine culture and sensitivity test which guides for selection of antibiotics.
All the best.
