THANKS for the query.
First of all do not take tension, as it is not something serious to worry about.
Yes pus cells above 5 hpf in properly collected urine sample indicate urine infection.
I would treat my patient with 7 day course of cefixime or cefixime and ofloxacin combination, along with plenty of oral fluids.
Dose to be discuss with your doctor according to weight.
Hope she will be better soon.
