Brief Answer:
Needs broad spectrum antibiotics, potassium and sodium correction.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First thing in his, infection, source of which is probably Urinary tract infection. Pus cell report you mentioned is probably wrong, you have mentioned 0.1, it must be more. Culture is already sent , we need to collect it urgently so as to guide the antibiotics to be chosen. We also need to get ultrasound of kidneys and prostate in order rule out their infection.
Next thing is which antibiotics to be given, I whatever he is receiving is fine, but better option would be a combination of tazact and gentamicin if kidney function is normal. Antibiotics will be guided by culture and by the response of the patient like if tlc is increasing inspite of 48 hrs of antibiotics then we need to change it.
Next thing is his low sodium which is a probable cause for his stupor, we need to correct it with 3% NaCl or oral Salt which your doctor must be doing. Also the cause for it, probably diuretics should be modified. His potassium is also low which is dangerous which needs to be corrected promptly with intravenous potassium and oral potassium syrup.
You also mentioned his bp is low so all his bp medicine should be stopped and he ll bp increasing medicine called as ionotropes, if bp is low and urine quantity is decreasing. Antiplatelets must be continued otherwise may lead to stent blockage.
So in nutshell infection is the culprit here, which can treated with antibiotics and other supportive care.

Brief Answer:
Treatment is okay and we can expect the recovery
Detailed Answer:
Treatment is fine, they are covering from all the angles. Normal bp is good sign, I think he will respond within 48 hrs and recover completely in a week if no resistant organism is grown on culture. All the best.
