Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has plenty of pus cells and fever with high total WBC count. So it confirm the urinary tract infection.

If general condition of patient is good then it can be cured on out patient based treatment.

He can take drugs like levofloxacin or norfloxacin for infection. Take paracetamol as and when required.

If general condition is poor then it need hospitalization.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health
