I'm really concerned about my 5-year-old daughter. Her recent urine test showed pus cells in the range of 8-10 per HPF. Is this something we should be worried about? What's considered normal for a child her age? I'm worried if this could be dangerous. Could you help me understand what this means and how we can address it?

The normal ratio of pus cells in the urine of a 5-year-old girl is usually less than 5 per high power field (HPF). Therefore, 8-10 pus cells per HPF may indicate an infection. While a UTI is not usually dangerous, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent complications such as kidney infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allMy kid has this cough that kicks in about 3-4 hours after she falls asleep at night. It's pretty frequent, and we just give her water, which seems to work after a 2030 second coughing fit. The cough just comes back every few hours throughout the night, and we're honestly exhausted from this routine. What could be causing this, and is there anything more we could do to help her?

My 3-month-old has some yellowish liquid coming from one of their ears, and I'm really worried about what this might mean. Is this kind of issue something common among babies? Could it turn out to be something serious?
The yellowish liquid discharge from a 3-month-old baby's ear could be due to a middle ear infection (otitis media), earwax buildup, or a blocked Eustachian tube; this is a relatively common issue in infants, but it's essential to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance on treatment, which may include antibiotics or ear drops, to prevent potential complications like hearing loss or ear drum damage.
