Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. As your urine showed much puss cells then it is most likely urinary tract infection. A culture and sensitivity test of urine should be done. Norfloxacin is a first line antibiotic used nowadays but some bacteria will be resistent. So antibiotic should be changed according to culture and sensitivity report. Taking cranberry juice and barley water will be helpful also. Using sodium citrate or potassium citrate in water also helps in alkalize urine and remove infection faster.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
