HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

UTI can explain pus coming out of vagina . Other possibilities is UTI spreading to the genital region and causing genital infection.

I advise you to get Culture sensitivity test of Urine and Pus and once the report comes use Antibiotics ( Preferably Intravenous ) as per the culture reports . The antibiotics has to be used for at least 7- 10 days.

In view of her overall condition to advise an admission to hospital .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
