Mild pus cells may still be part of recovery, but if symptoms continue or recur, repeat urine culture may help identify the right antibiotic. Keep her hydrated and ensure she completes the full course of medicine.

I am experiencing a strong and consistent urge to urinate frequently, even while I am already urinating. I have submitted a normal urine routine test report and also given a sample for urine culture. Please advise on what this might indicate and the next steps.

I have a 6mm kidney stone in my left kidney. Currently, I am experiencing constipation and a heavy feeling in my belly. My report mentions gas in the bowel detected by a 10 MHz scan. Could the constipation be related to the kidney stone. Please suggest how I can relieve the constipation and what steps I should take? Thank you, sir.
