What Is The Solution For Fever, Cold And Cough And If Pus Cells Are Found In Urine Of A Baby?

Hi My daughter is 8 months old and had fever, cold, cough for 3-4 days. Urine test was done and found out in the result that pus cells count is 8-10 hpf. Please suggest remedies for this. We have given another sample for culture test and is due in a couple of days time. But in general, are there any natural remedies and is there anything to worry about?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Pus cells 10-12/hpf in urine indicate urinary tract infection which is the possible source of the fever the child is suffering from. It might also be related to a viral infection which generally causes the cough and cold. You need to visit a doctor and get it treated with a full course of antibiotics. The doctor will be able to subsequently tally using the culture and sensitivity reports if the antibiotics are supposed to be effective in the particular case of your daughter. The main natural remedy to reduce such infection would be to drink plenty of water which will help in flushing out the infection and would provide relief. It has to backed up with proper antibiotics and you need not worry if the course is completed. Maintaining proper hygeine is essential.
