Brief Answer:
Test report is normal. Don't worry

Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for writing to us.
At this age especially in a girl child urinary tract infections are common.
That is why your doctor had prescribed this test.
I have seen your baby's report.
The test report is normal. No evidence of urinary tract infection.
Don't worry.
Probably your baby has a viral fever which should settle in a few days.
Continue crocin and meftal as suggested by your doctor.
Ensure she drinks liquids to keep her hydrated.
If fever doesn't settle down consult your pediatrician.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
