General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM.
If you have fever and pus in urine there is a urinary infection and in adults urinary infection with fever happens with kidney infection. Headaches and feeling unwell can happen with important infections.
A good test to identify the bacteria and the effective antibiotic is urine culture. According to urine culture the effective antibiotic is decided to be taken and fever should go down and you should feel much better in 48 hours. Urine culture might take 1-3 days to bring the results and meanwhile the doctor will give some antibiotics that are effective in majority of patients.
If you are sexually active and have had unprotected intercourse I would recommend culture or urethral secretions for chlamydia and gonorrhea to rule out STI (sexually transmitted infections)
You also will need to drink plenty so the urinary system is washed and cleaned easier if urinary infection is the cause.
Hope this is helpful and answers to your question.
