Hi there,
I am Dr. Deepak, I work in Emergency Deaprtment, Where I see many pregnant ladies with minor illness. You have mentioned your urine routine report and are concerned if there is any problem regarding it.
The report shows: bacteria which is moderate
Pus Cell: 7-10 cell
pH: 6.5
The report indicates that you are having urine infection, which is mild now. Usually if you were not pregnant, I would have recommend you to drink more of corn beery juice and lots of water. Which should clear it out.
Since you are pregnant, I would suggest that you need a course of antibiotic to clear the infection Preferably I would prescribe Ampicillin 500mg.
As it is a prescription drug, I would recommend you to show a family physician or Your OBG specialist.
If the infection is there for longer period of time, it can be harmful for the baby.
Thank you.
Hope your concern was dealt with and hope you can your baby have a speedy recovery.
