Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your cocnerns. In my opinion you need to have a urine analysis done to know if your infection is treated or not. In most of the cases if there are plenty pus cells we will suggest urine culture which shows which antibiotic is suitable to treat the bacteria present. Along with that a abdominal scan is also needed to rule out pyelonephritis. If your back pain is unbarable you can take milk pain killers like acetaminophen. Hope this answers your query. Get back if you have more.

Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
