Brief Answer:
Sounds like UTI if you have symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX langlois,

The urinalysis suggests a UTI if you have symptoms, e.g. frequent or painful urination, in which case you should take antibiotics. If you do not have symptoms, antibiotics are not necessary.

In any case you should drink lots of fluids.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.
