Hi and thanks for the query,
Its good the urine analysis was done already. It might at times be difficult interpreting the white blood cells count in urine in the absence of the nitrite values. In case the urinary nitrites were negative, you might just need to continue with prescription of your doctor as you wait for the results of the urine culture.
Its of utmost importance to monitor her especially as she had a urinary tract infection last year. However, negative results from the sonography are reassuring. I suggest you stay calm as you await the results of the urine culture.
However, any unusual events like excessive fevers or vomiting, aggravation of the general outlook should warrant a consultation. If not, she just stay calm as you wait for the test results.
thanks and best regards,
