Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son is having symptoms of recurring fever which is due to impaired and reduced immunity of body. Presence of pus cells in urine is clear indication of infection to child. Need not to worry about it. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should get stool culture done as well. Take diet rich in fruits and multivitamins. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined to find out the cause of fever after thorough investigation. If required request your physician for any lab tests which may be required and start treatment as per that. You can take Crocin as well every 4-6 hrly. If symptoms still persists go for blood tests and then start treatment as per that. Take antipyretic drug such as paracetamol and along with that do tepid sponging in between depending on intensity of fever.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
