Symptoms are not enough as the symptoms can sometimes be there without infection.
A basic urinalysis routine examination should be done to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics.

In my opinion if you are suffering from burning in urine and frequently urination then you start the treatment even without urine test because to relieve from symptoms is must And meanwhile test the urine.
