Hi
Your doc is right. Normally WBCs should be less than 10 in urine. so you have urinary tract infection. To know exact type of infection, you have to wait for culture report. you can either take some broad-spectrum antibiotics or can wait for culture report. Then according to infection, you can take antibiotics.
Thanks..
