Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
As blood and pus cells were found in urine, presence of bacteria or infection will be confirmed on the culture report which will take 3 to 4 days to come.
According to me it is still urinary tract infection and that is the reason you are having referred pain to the lower back.
I think the doctor you are consulting will be putting you up on the appropriate antibiotic depending on the culture report.
Meanwhile try drinking lots of fluids, maintain proper hygiene.
Drinking lots of fluid will wash out the pus cells and it will also keep burning urination away.
Thank you
