Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have pus cells in urine. It suggest urinary tract infection. It is very common disease and easily treated by antibiotics. It is not a serious disease so don't worry at all about that.

Culture and sensitivity test gives you exact idea about organism that causes this infection and antibiotics useful against that.

Generally drugs like norfloxacin or levofloxacin are useful. it is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
