Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, this is not abdominal abscess but this seems to be urinary tract infection. Since, pus cells have been found in urine, therefore a urine culture test and ultrasound kub should be done to know the cause of urinary tract infection. Sometimes, urinary tract infection can present without fever. I hope this will help you. Take care.
