Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had frequent urination and lots of 'pee' yesterday. By last night, some discomfort above pelvic bone but urine was clear in toilet and no pain upon going. Went to walk in clinic and dip stick showed a 'few white cells' so they sent it out for a full urinalysis and culture and gave me 500 mg Keflex 3 times day for 7 days. Allergic to sulfa drugs. Simple UTI ??

As your urine has showed some puss cells, it may be due to presence of some infection in the genito urinary tract.
As they have sent your urine for complete analysis and culture it help us to know the organism and also to which antibiotic it is susceptible, by knowing this it will be easy to clear off the infection from the body.
The prescribed antibiotic is enough to clear off the infection from the body. Thank you.
