Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
It indicates some infection in the urinary tract if the pus cells are in the urine.
It will be covered with complete course of antibiotics.
You will need USG ABDOMEN AND PELVIS for that. It's a simple procedure like any other ultrsound.
To prevent recurrence you need to complete the course of antibiotic, drink lot of water, keep the area clen.
Hope i help you.
