Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I can understand your concern.

I want to know -
- Your age and gender.
- For what symptoms have you undergone urine test.
- Any associated conditions like diabetes.

Your urine report is suggestive of urinary infection.
But if you don't have urinary symptoms, fever or diabetes treatment with antibiotic may not required.

You should take plenty of liquid if not contraindicated.
Repeat urine examination after 1 week if pus cells /WBCs rising or there are symptoms then there may be need for antibiotic.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
