Since u had previous episodes of urinary tract infection.. the above symptoms may be due to reflux /ascending infection (pyelonephritis) or any abscess (pus collection). Self catheterisation also triggers infection sometimes. Repeat urine routine and culture to be done. U have to do higher imaging like usg/ct scan to look for focus of infection or other cause.
