UTI issue - how to fix
I am having unbearable burning sensation during urination since one day. It started with slight uneasyness a few days ago. Also have darker yellow colour pee.
Several years ago when I had UTI, a physician prescribed Urifast. Can I take the same medicine again? If so, what dose and how many days?
Or Could it be solved just by having cooling stuff like curd, because I think it might have happened just bcz of heat.

Since you have a one day history, the most likely cause can be dehydration.
Don't start any medication right now. First get urine RE & CS and based on the report the doctor will prescribe medicine if required.
Next Steps
Drink 3L water today and tomorrow. If possible add lemon juice to it because it helps alkalinize the urine reducing burning sensation.
Avoid Tea, coffee and alcohol.
Health Tips
If symptoms persist for more than 3 days, immediately consult the doctor.

Likely causesMost common are UTI or dehydration/heat in summer.
Your symptoms Burning, dark yellow pee, and uneasiness point to both.
First step Drink 2.5-3L water today. It dilutes urine and reduces burning.
Cooling foods help Curd, chaas, coconut water, barley water can soothe irritation.
Avoid Tea, coffee, spicy food, and citrus - they increase burning.
About UrifastIt only relieves burning. It does NOT treat infection.
Don’t self-medicate Don’t reuse old prescriptions without a doctor’s check.
Test needed Urine R/M + Culture is needed to know if antibiotics are required.
See doctor if Pain is "unbearable", >2 days, or you get fever/back pain.
Bottom line Start water + curd now, but get checked today to rule out UTI.
