Kindly do not worry it is a normal urine report. Visit your pediatrician who will guide you further course of action

It can be an indication of urine infection. Plz attach the copy of urine routine and urine culture reports for proper assessment. Culture should tell if there is definite infection is there or not. Can start on antibiotics basing on the reports. Follow up with your pediatrician.
