Strange symptoms - please help!!

i am a 35 yr old female.  last november i had a check up with a blood panel done and a gynecologic exam and all was normal.  about 3 or 4 times per year i get frequent urination but with absolutely no burning or pain.  i will just have a constant need to urinate and sometimes a little comes out and sometimes a lot.  anyhow, it always subsides on it's own.  about a week ago i developed a swollen gland behind my ear and about a day later the frequent urination started.  i bought an over the counter urinary tract infection tester and it game back negative for leukocites and slightly positive (very slightly) for nitrites.  i had some 500 mg cipro from a respiratory infection that i had last winter.  i called my pharmacist and she said that cipro is used for urinary infections.  she said the dose is often 2 pills twice daily for 3 days.  i have just enough so i started taking them and my frequent urination stopped after the second pill.  the swollen gland had already disappeared that morning.  i have been checking my temperature and it has been running between 98.8 and 99 for the last 2 days.  3 days ago it was 99.3 (all checked in the evening around 7:00 pm).  would these numbers be a fever?  i tend to run just below 89.6 but maybe i'm higher because i just passed ovulation?  can you have a urinary tract infection with no burning?  the only symptoms were frequent urination and very slight pressure in my bladder area.  i thought you would have to have some burning or pain.

You need to go to the doctor and have a urinalysis done...you are running a low grade fever for a reason...maybe you passed a stone...go and see your doctor, OK?
