Hello Doctor, I have a 4 year old girl and she is having high count pus cells in her urine and fever, after consulting with the doctor we started with the antibiotics treatment for 15 days. Its was ok and after completing the treatment (after 3 days) she has the same symptoms and after urine test it was confirmed that she has again high count of pus cells in her urine. Please advise, so that we can prevent it in future.
Hi, Your daughter is having UTI (urinary tract infection). Usually this needs antibiotics for 5-7 days only. Your doctor had given you for 15 days, may be because of inadequate response initially.

In my patients, before starting antibiotic I used to send urine culture to find out the exact organism and the Chat Doctor. Here, you have not mentioned culture report. Even if it was not done, you need not worry-we can empirically give another class of antibiotic-your doctor will guide you, but please discuss on urine culture before starting the
