Q: UTI antibiotics urinary burning

Hello there,
I got a pretty bad UTI that I'd had for about a few days to a week before I went to see a doctor. It was officially diagnosed (this is my second one in about two months) and she gave me generic Macrobid for the antibiotic and Pyridium (100 mg) for the burning. Well, I am almost out of Pyridium and the burning is still a major issue three days after starting treatment. Are there any over-the-counter medications I can take to relieve the pain? Pyridium worked last time, but this time most of the symptoms except the burning seem to have cleared up pretty well. I don't want anything that will interact badly with the Macrobid, of course.
Also, are there any clear indicators that your UTI has transformed into a more serious kidney infection? I had a fever of 99.0 and some serious nausea/vomiting as well as chills for a day, but it seemed more like the flu than anything to do with my kidneys. I don't even know if it's possible to have a one-day flu.
Help would be appreciated
