I'm a bit worried about my urine test results. It showed pus cells at 18-20, but I think the normal range is around 5. I'm experiencing shivering, headaches, and general weakness. I just did a urine culture test and will get the results in 72 hours. Until then, is there anything specific I should do or be concerned about?
