Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
The pus cells range which you have got is 8-10 which clearly indicates a urinary tract infection.
She needs to drink lots of water, drink cranberry juice, citrus fruits and lemonade.
Also do a culture and sensitivity of urine done so that it will be known which antibiotic is most active on the particular organism.
Kindly consult a paediatrician for further help regarding this.
Best regards.
