Hello
Findings may indicate UTI(urinary tract infection).UTI is indicated due to presence of excessive WBC,RBC,bacteria in urine.
RBC may be due to UTI.
Ultrasound of abdomen can be done to exclude renal calculus.
You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,renal function test,urine culture/sensitivity.
Nitrite test and leukocyte esterase test can be done for confirmation of UTI.
Proper antibiotics should be based upon culture and sensitivity report.
You should drink plenty of water.
You may need alkalizing syrup.
Get well soon.
