Pus cells greater than 10/hpf in pregnancy likely indicate UTI, which can harm both mother and fetus. Start antibiotics after a urine culture. Drink plenty of fluids and monitor fever or abdominal pain. Please take a Urine Culture immediately.

If urine test report and pus cells are occasional, is there a need to take a tablet just like Martifur 100 mg?

My 3 years son had sudden fever on Friday night and stomach pain. Fever is coming again after 5 to 6 hours of taking medicine. He vomited once. Today I got his urine report showing Leucocyte Esterase and pus cells 8 to 10. Doctor gave Ziprax. Is it UTI infection? He has no pain while passing urine. Report attached.
