Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
After treatment of UTI and after two weeks still the pus cells are present suggest that there may be some congenital anatomical abnormality like congenital prostatic valves.
You have to consult urologist and get the MCU (micturating cysto urethrography) done to detect these valves.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
