Hi, I am 23 weeks pregnant, and my urine report shows pus cells 4 to 5/hpf and epithelial cells 8 to 10/hpf. Is this normal? Please suggest what I should do.

Mild pyuria and increased epithelial cells could be due to contamination or early infection. Repeat test with midstream clean catch sample. If symptoms (burning, fever, frequency) present, start antibiotics safe in pregnancy. If asymptomatic, monitor with repeat tests.

Question

What is the treatment for pus cells in urine?

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.
