I have started having pain & am sure it is a UTI. I have these Dicloxacill 250mg & was wondering if this will cure my problem.

Self-diagnosing is never a good idea, especially with a urinary infection, first of all their are antibiotics targeted to treat it much faster and while it could very well be exactly what you suspect, there is always the chance that it isn't, it could be a vaginal infection, bowel, kidney or one of a number of other things, so your best bet would be to see your doctor and follow their advice after diagnosis.

My sister frequently had urinary infections requiring treatment, then the last time, she was absolutely certain from the symptoms that it was another one, but her fiance took her to the emergency room anyway, turns out she had no infection at all that time, she was a month pregnant, my nephew who was born 8months later is now 17 years old.

So some things can sometimes mimic symptoms and overuse of an antibiotic, by using it for something that it may not treat adequately can result in your developing antibiotic resistant illnesses.
