Hi,
Thanks for writing in..
The cause of the high fever could be variable. But since abundant pus cells were found in the urine it appears to be due to urinary system signifies the presence of either a antomical anomaly in the urinary system or a stone disease.It is good to hear that the infection is under control.But for a 5 year old it is important that the infection should be completely eradicated.
I would suggest that you consult a surgeon and get her investigated for the aforementioned lesions. It is not good to allow a child to develop urinary tract infection.Do not rely on alternative medicine treatment.
I hope this answers your querry.

your reply is very generalized. This can by no angle be considered an expert opinion.
The answer is short and evasive.
moreover the site showed the doctors from west as on line. but the reply has come from a doctor from India. this is unethical.
to me it is bad experience.

Hi,
Expert opinions cannot be given on the basis of written description. It has to be correlated to clinical evaluation of the patient. Online advice is just a guideline and can never be a perfect advice. In the said case the advice given is apt and will undoubtedly serve as a guideline for further investigation.
