Hi
Welcome to the HCM

There is no need to be worried about 3-5 pus cells on urine examination. It needs no treatment unless and until a child is symptomatic. I would recommend you to go for urine culture and sensitivity report before starting antibiotics as it is a more definitive test for urinary tract infections.

As such, most common reason for fever in this age is self limiting viral infections which need just symptomatic treatment like acetaminophen for fever.

Hopefully this will help you. I would be glad to help you for any further child health related query.

Take care
