HI...pus cells of 5-8/hpf is a nromal report. Nothing to worry about it.
By what you quote I feel that your kid is having a viral diarrhea. Will tell you about it to relieve your stress.
Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
