Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms are suggestive of UTI , if Levofloxacine has not worked for it then the plan would be as follow:
I would personally advise an ultrasound to rule out any cause for the unhealing UTI like renal stone etc.
Another important thing is now to get a urine culture and sensitivity , this is very important here ,this test will not only show the germ but also the antibiotic working for it because the bug may be resistant to Levofloxacin. So I would suggest get an ultrasound and urine culture and sensitivity done. Hopefully it settles the issue

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
