My 9 month old daughter routine urine test showed 500 pus cells per hpf. A follow up urine culture showed occasional white blood cells per hpf but no bacterial growth after two days of incubation. What should be the next steps? Currently, she is taking Levomac, Zifi, Maxtra, and Econorm, and I am giving her a liquid diet along with breastfeeding.

High pus cells suggest infection, but no growth may indicate prior antibiotic effect or sterile inflammation. Continue antibiotics as prescribed and repeat urine test after 3 days.

Pus cells are absent in urine, does this mean there are any chances that pus cells can be present in stool. I have a normal urine report.
