UTI = Urinary Tract Infection.
You need to go to the doctors ASAP, this cannot be treated at home.
If not treated, a UTI can turn into something serious like Chronic kidney infections. (Infections that recur or last a long time can cause permanent damage, including kidney scars, poor kidney function, high blood pressure, and other problems.) or some acute kidney infections. (Infections that develop suddenly can be life threatening, especially if the bacteria enter the bloodstream.)
If you cannot get to the doctors until next week, that's okay. You can soothe the pain by drinking LOTS of water every day. (Around 6 cups) and at least 2 cups of cranberry juice. Basically, you want to get as much fluids in your system as possible.
Also, go to the bathroom every two hours. It doesn't matter if you don't feel like you have to, go.
You need antibiotics that only a doctor can prescribe to you to treat this. It's not found in stores. You will be asked to pee in a cup, the doctor will test your urine to see what's in it (Blood, bacteria, etc), and you will be given a prescription to take to your local RiteAid/Walgreens/Whatever. The urine test takes about ten minutes to be completed.
No not let this go for more than ten days. The pain will increase every day until you get antibiotics. I've had a UTI twice, they aren't fun. I can't stress enough that you need to go to the doctors ASAP.
Good luck.
EDIT: Also, use the bathroom the minute you are finished having sex EVERY SINGLE TIME. It doesnt matter if you're tired, you need to suck it up. Having sex and then not going to the bathroom is one of the biggest ways to get a UTI.
SECOND EDIT: I can't reply to you via feedback, so I hope you see this. No, the doctors won't know you got it from sex. There are multiple other causes such as poor hygiene, waiting too long too pee(holding it in), having diabetes, etc.
If you worried about a parent/guardian finding out that you are sexually active, don't be. You are over 13 and therefore you now have doctor/patient confidentiality. If your doctor asks if you are sexually active, be honest. They won't tell your parents. They need to know so they can help/treat you the best they can.
