Answers:
Bacterial UTIs can involve the urethra, prostate, bladder, or kidneys!. Symptoms may be absent or include urinary frequency and urgency, dysuria, lower abdominal pain, and flank pain!. Systemic symptoms and even sepsis may occur with kidney infection!. Diagnosis is based on analysis and culture of urine!. Treatment is with antibiotics!.
When to Contact a Medical Professional:
Call your doctor if you, or your child, have symptoms of a UTI!. Call right away if there is fever or chills, back or side pain, or vomiting!. These symptoms suggest a possible kidney infection!.
Also call if:
* You have diabetes or are pregnant
* There is discharge from the penis or vagina
* The penis or vagina is painful, or sexual intercourse is painful
* You suspect a child may have been sexually abused
* There is blood or pus in the urine
* The symptoms come back a short time after treatment with antibioticsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I doubt that an actual infection could be cleared that quickly!. Wait a couple days and see how you feel!. If you don't treat a UTI you can end up with a kidney infection, even if symptoms are goneWww@Answer-Health@Com
Drink plenty of water (at leas 8 glasses/day) for the next few days, if you still have the UTI then you should see your doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
