Brief Answer:
Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

You have a urine infection.
Do not worry.
Just get a urine culture and take an antibiotic immediately, I know you are worried, but antibiotics are safe in pregnancy.

Its a common thing to have urine infection in pregnancy, a lot of antibiotics are safe, just you need to get a prescription based on the culture and you will be fine.

This will not have a long term affect on you or the pregnancy.

Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
cranberries

Detailed Answer:
You can try cranberries and yogurt but definitely do a urine culture and take the antibiotics.
With such high pus cells its not safe to avoid medications as in 10 days it may increase and also affect kidneys. please tell your doctor to do a urine culture.

Do you have fever aswell?
