Hi Sir. I have had back pain for one week, and today I developed fever, cold, and cough. I got my blood and urine tested. After the urine test, the doctor informed me that I have a urinary infection. The test showed albumin (present +) and pus cells 3 to 4/HPF. The doctor suggested taking Cystone syrup. After one day, I am fine from fever, cold, and cough, but I sometimes get pain in my right lower rib. What should I do?

My wife is 48 years old with height 5 feet 3 inches and weight 66 kgs. Her blood report shows RBC 5.6 with maximum 5.1 and haemoglobin 15.3 with maximum 15.3. Her urine report shows white pus cells 60 to 80 hpf, red cells occasional, epithelial cells 10 to 20 hpf, leukocytes 3 plus, and protein traces. Her serum creatinine is 0.9. Could you please help me understand the issue with these numbers?
