Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a urinary tract infection.
The pain in the lower back can be related to kidney disease.
I suggest doing a urine test and an abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest drinking liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
