Hello, my father is facing some problems: urge and itching during urination, brown yellowish urine, dizziness, fever, and loss of appetite. He went for a checkup and the doctor said it is a urine infection and gave him medication for 5 days. After three days, all problems went away and he felt normal. The medicines were Pyridium 100, Nimegesic P, and a heavy antibiotic (I do not remember the name). After 5 days, the doctor advised discontinuing the treatment. Now after 3 days, the problem started again. He went to the doctor and was given the same medication plus Nitrobact 100. Again all symptoms went away. Please tell what the problem could be? I have attached the urine report.

I have attached my urine report, and the doctor mentioned there is an infection. I have been advised to take IV fluids and injections in the morning and evening, with only a general consultation mentioned. I am a 33 year old and feeling a bit worried. Could you please review the report

What is urine infection?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Kindly check my report. My leucocyte esterase is positive and pus cells are 10 to 12 WBC per HPF. Is this very high. I am 31 weeks pregnant. Can this harm my baby? I am really worried.
