Pediatrician,  's  Response
greetings,
pus means pus cells.
so now what we are little worried here is urinary tract infection.
and if it is a üti"then a culture will tell you which organism is causing UTI and will Prescribe appropriate anti biotic.
Also As a protocol most of the doctors like the child to get scanned if there a UTI till 5 years of age as it is necessary to see whether the infected urine has refluxed back to the kidneys and caused any scarring.this is justa protocol and nothingn else.
theres nothing to worry about,you sisters daughter will be blazing naughtiness again with oin no time.
hope this has helped.
thanks and regards.
