Having pus and blood in the urine is suggestive of Kidney stones possibly in the Ureter or Urinary bladder. You need to get an X-ray abdomen and/or ultrasound to confirm dear. Get the investigations as required by the Urologist. Drink plenty of water and drink cranberry juice which helps to fight infections and prevent the symptoms.
