Hi Sir. I have had back pain for one week, and today I developed fever, cold, and cough. I got my blood and urine tested. After the urine test, the doctor informed me that I have a urinary infection. The test showed albumin (present +) and pus cells 3 to 4/HPF. The doctor suggested taking Cystone syrup. After one day, I am fine from fever, cold, and cough, but I sometimes get pain in my right lower rib. What should I do?

The presence of albumin and pus cells in urine suggests a mild urine infection. Fever and cold improving with treatment is a good sign. However, right lower rib pain could mean the infection is mildly affecting the kidney area. Its best to repeat a Urine Routine Test and do a Renal Ultrasound to check for kidney involvement. Drink plenty of fluids and complete your course of medicine.

My baby is 6 months old and has had a fever for the last 5 days. After consultation, we did a urine test. The report shows albumin as traces and pus cells 8 to 10. I want to know if this is a matter of concern and, on a general basis, how long it usually takes to recover after starting treatment.
