Question 1

My father was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection and treated with cefox and augmentin. He recovered for one week but at that time pus cells and RBC were present in the urine report and TLC was 13900. Then after eight days fever repeated and TLC was 13000 but urine was clear. He was treated with ampicillin 500 four times. Now after eight days fever has repeated. What will be the cause? Urine culture is negative. There is some increase in the prostate. A stone is seen in the gallbladder. Every Monday fever repeats.

Question 2

Hi, Three years ago, I completed treatment for pulmonary TB. For the past 10 days, I have been experiencing urinary irritation (feeling the urge but unable to pass urine properly) along with a dragging pain in the lower abdomen. Could you please advise which tests I should undergo before visiting a doctor?

Question 3

I have been having fever and headache with burning sensation in the urine for the last two days. I am taking Augmentin 625 mg twice a day, Call 625 mg twice a day, and Syp Cital thrice a day. Please let me know whether this treatment is correct or if I should consult another doctor? I am attaching my blood and urine report. Thanks.

My routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?

This could indicate a mild urinary tract infection. Drink more fluids, cranberry juice, maintain hygiene, and consult a doctor if you experience burning or pain while urinating. A short course of antibiotics may be advised after a urine culture. Get advised tests done.
