My 3 years son had sudden fever on Friday night and stomach pain. Fever is coming again after 5 to 6 hours of taking medicine. He vomited once. Today I got his urine report showing Leucocyte Esterase and pus cells 8 to 10. Doctor gave Ziprax. Is it UTI infection? He has no pain while passing urine. Report attached.

Yes, the presence of pus cells and positive leukocyte esterase suggests UTI. Ziprax cefixime is an appropriate antibiotic. Continue full course and ensure hydration.

I recently underwent dental treatment and took antibiotics during that time. I have also had a semen analysis, which showed 24 to 26 pus cells. Could taking antibiotics have caused the increase in pus cells in my semen?

The routine urine examination shows albumin trace and pus cells 100 to 125. The previous urine culture showed Klebsiella species. I have attached my urine culture and current urine routine test report. Please help.

I am diabetic for 12 years. Three months ago, 6 mm and 4 mm kidney stones were detected. Now I am having right side pelvic pain and heaviness, along with burning sensation and yellow urine. The doctor prescribed Nutribact 100 for 3 weeks, Stone1 syrup, and Meftal tablets. Even after this, I have not been cured and was advised to undergo a cystoscopy. My urine test report shows ++ sugar, 15 to 20 pus cells, and epithelial cells. The culture report came as contaminants. Is this the proper treatment I am receiving?
