Hi,
We can not confirm UTI with urine microscopy showing pus cells. Also, just 3 pus cells does not suggest UTI.
Get her urine culture if having UTI symptoms. If culture is negative, this is not UTI. If this is recurring episodes true UTI, we need other investigation like ultrasound abdomen and DMSA scan. Kindly discuss with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
