Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Having grade 4 VUR, you should know that it's essential to check urine culture.
Only the culture report can confirm an UTI.
The further treatment depends on this report.
2-3 pus cells isn't significant. Unless he gets fever or has difficulty urinating.
Ask him to drink about 3 glasses fluids daily.
