I had a UTI and was treated with cefixime 400 mg twice a day for 7 days. Here are the results of my repeat urinalysis: color yellow, transparency slightly turbid, specific gravity 1.010, reaction pH 5.0, sugar/albumin/protein negative, WBC pus cells 8 to 12 hpf, RBC 0 to 2 hpf, epithelial cells moderate, and bacteria few. What does this mean?

Mild elevation of pus cells can remain after UTI treatment. If youre symptom free, no further treatment is needed. Hydration and hygiene help. Recheck if symptoms recur.

Which food should I avoid during pus cells in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am diabetic for 12 years. Three months ago, 6 mm and 4 mm kidney stones were detected. Now I am having right side pelvic pain and heaviness, along with burning sensation and yellow urine. The doctor prescribed Nutribact 100 for 3 weeks, Stone1 syrup, and Meftal tablets. Even after this, I have not been cured and was advised to undergo a cystoscopy. My urine test report shows ++ sugar, 15 to 20 pus cells, and epithelial cells. The culture report came as contaminants. Is this the proper treatment I am receiving?
