My little girl is 2 and almost 11 months and just a couple of days ago, she came down with a fever. We got a urine routine test done and the results mentioned that ketones were present at 50.0 mgdl and pus cells are at 10-15 WBCHPF. I'm really worried about the ketones; are they something dangerous? What should I be aware of or do next?

Pre-Pregnancy Concerns and Symptoms

Pregnancy Possibility

1. Low risk, but possible: While the risk of pregnancy from non-penetrative sexual activity is low, it's not impossible, especially if there was pre-ejaculation or ejaculation near the vaginal opening.
2. Pre-ejaculation fluid can contain sperm: Pre-ejaculation fluid can contain sperm, which can potentially fertilize an egg.

Symptoms and Early Signs of Pregnancy

1. Common symptoms: Burps (gas), constipation, nipple pain, and pimple formation can be early signs of pregnancy, but they can also be caused by other factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or digestive issues.
2. Not conclusive evidence: These symptoms alone do not confirm pregnancy.

Next Steps

1. Take a pregnancy test: Wait until after your expected period (around 4-5 days after your missed period) and take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or visit a healthcare provider for a blood test.
2. Consult a healthcare provider: If you're concerned about pregnancy or experiencing symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for guidance and support.
