Possibly wrong med: Diflucan is commonly prescribed for yeast infections, which can cause "burning" & frequency for a few days, but, not abdominal pain. Bactrim is a standard first line antibiotic for urinary infection but many organisms are resistant. Was your urine cultured? That would tell whether or not you have a UTI & if so what antibiotic would be effective. Suggest urinalysis, culture & ? new antibiotic.
