Suggest Treatment To Lower WBC Count
Hi, my 2 y/o son has 14-16 wbc in urinalysis, after 7 days of antibiotics the count lowered to only 12-14. This is the 2nd time he was diagnosed with uti. During the first time, the wbc count lowered to normal but now it has barely gone down. What should be the next step? Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:.
1. It appears to be resistant urinary tract infection.
2. Need to get culture and sensitivity of the urine sample to identify appropriate antibiotics.
3. Also need to give him plenty of water. After completion of course of antibiotics, repeat urine test for confirmation.
4. Pus cells should reduce. Not to worry.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
