Hello,
Based on the facts that your wife who is in her 20 weeks of pregnancy has frequent urination and her routine urine test has revealed the presence of 30-35 pus cells without any evidence of bacterial infection.
In a given situation, you can safely give her Nitrofurantoin twice daily. This drug is commonly used during pregnancy up to 38th weeks of pregnancy and been proved that it does not have ill effects on the growth of the baby.
Frequent urination in pregnancy in absence of infection is mostly due to the pressure of the gravid uterus on the bladder and is nothing to be worried about.
Hope I have answered your query, please feel free to ask if you have more questions, I shall be happy to help you.
Thanks and regards.
