Hello,
Your wife seems to be suffering from severe urinary tract infection (UTI). Pus cells of >100/HPF is diagnostic of infection.
You can continue treating fever with Tab. Crocin.
Culture and sensitivity test will help your doctor identify the organism and antibiotic the organism is susceptible too. Your doctor will be able to prescribe specific antibiotic.
I prescribe my patients bladder specific i.e., drugs acting on urinary bladder for faster relief. You can ask your doctor for such drugs available at pharmacy near you.
Advice your wife to take plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health.
